I'm Thinking of Ending Things
Iain Reid
Now a Netflix original movie, this deeply scary and intensely unnerving novel follows a couple in the midst of a twisted unraveling of the darkest unease. You will be scared. But you won’t know why…I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always. Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.” And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here. In this smart and intense literary suspense novel, Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, I’m Thinking of Ending Things pulls you in from the very first page…and never lets you go.
The tension is insane 😱 I’m so sucked in, there’s so many tiny creepy details yet nothing out of the ordinary has taken place. If it wasn’t for these interludes of gossip about some crime, I’d be wondering if the eeriness was all in her head.

0WOW this was a phenomenal psychological thriller. Little clues are sprinkled throughout but you will never see the ending coming. I immediately went back and reread parts to get a full sense of what happened, but this is definitely a book that can (actually NEEDS to) be read multiple times.
03.5/5
I think I hate this book but I also really like it. I feel sick to my stomach after finishing it though. I loved the scary vibes, it genuinely had me scared at many moments.
This is the saddest book I have ever read, bypassing A Little Life by miles. DO NOT read this book if you are not in a good place mentally because it is SAD. I'm glad I read this when I was doing well and not at a more difficult time of my life, or else I would NOT be okay.
I think it accurately portrays the spirals and thoughts through mental illness and depression, but I think it does romanticize it a bit which is what made me the most sad about this book.
An interesting insight into the mind of a very ill individual but PLEASE read with CAUTION! Do not take this lightly.
