Ive read the book in quarentine. I cant express all the emotions it led me through the reading. As you said, the friendship is beautifully writen in a way you sense the afection between both characters and makes you remember your own friends from childhood. I wont spoiler the ending, but dear god how HORRIBLE was to read that. I still cant believe the cruelty hidden in his past, how he never got proper closure and now realizes. Its wonderful in its heartwretching way. Amazing review ♡ how lucky of you to got to know the author

I think that the sign of a great book is it sticking with you. I just read it in the last week and I cannot get the story and characters out of my head. One thing that came to mind that I just didn’t put together upon finishing the book but since then has haunted me is the first chapter’s correlation to the last chapter. Obviously the “Penpal” used Josh as a surrogate to the narrator but Josh being found with the bottle of ether makes so much sense upon reflection. That is why the narrator woke up in different places. That’s why he wound up in the woods. The most horrifying question is what did the “Penpal” do to him while was unconscious. It is chilling to think not only what he did to the narrator but to the expendable surrogate Josh.

I read this book over 2 years ago and I STILL think about it regularly. I've yet to read a book that made me feel as unnerved and uncomfortable as this did, and yet it is so beautifully written and the friendship between Josh and the narrator felt so real.

Howdy! If you’re a fan of horror books, I strongly recommend Borrasca. It’s an incredibly realistic horror story like no other, calling it a mere horror story is a genuine disservice to how fantastic and heartbreaking the book and its sequel story is. It’s genuinely a work of art in writing, and I implore you to give it a watch.

Yes please review Borrasca. That one is very well written and very terrifying. Literally changed the way I think about horror

@@ProvoIRA1984 For sure - I used to be a larger fan of the unknown creatures horror that persists in the majority of the stories, but recalling the sheer shock and gut horror I felt while listening to Borrasca, especially the reveal, made me entirely re-evaluate how I prefer the genre. I wish there were more stories anchored in reality like it, but outside of “Penpals” and “I Dared My Best Friend To Ruin My Life”, there’s not very many stand-outs

Although I've read this novel very recently, I think you declaring it as a modern classic is an incredibly solid claim. What a marvelous, potent work of fiction it is. I'll definitely have to check out his second novel some time soon.

I finished this book the other day and I absolutely loved it. I love the way this author writes. I like how he changes storylines so smoothly and it's easy to follow exactly what's going on even with bouncing timelines. The Screening chapter had me floored. I love this book. Definitely a favorite.
