Review
At first, I was unsure of Unravelling. I found it difficult to connect with the characters and I wasn’t able to grasp who’s who and where they fit into the equation. I’m glad I preserved because it was a great read.
The plot line of Unravelling makes for a good thriller, one where you’re not sure what the ending will bring. However, for me, it wasn’t the best part of the book. What I enjoyed most was the insight into mental health in the 80s, how people were treated, and the stigma attached. The author did a great job in researching this area and respectfully represented the affected characters and their illnesses.
I have to admit that, although I found the characters interesting, I didn’t really connect with them at as strong a level as I normally like. The standout character for me was Stefan. A sweet person to balance the badness of some in this book, and a character with an intriguing plot for the reader to also unravel.
If Unravelling sounds interesting to you, you can pick up for copy here.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
