“The Strange Case of Jane O.��, by Karen Thompson Walker

4 brilliant stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A terrific concept and very well executed.
I loved the writing and the storytelling, although it was a bit dry in some parts, especially in the beginning, but later on I did feel the emotions of each character, even Nico’s, although his was a retelling. And the slow development was still enjoyable nonetheless.
I was very impressed as how confident the writing felt.
I found the topic to be fascinating and interesting.
The story is told by two POV, one by a psychiatrist and the other by way of letters/journal by the patient.
There are lots of “perhaps�� and “what if’s��, so things are not completely clear.
I wished this book was bigger, because i wanted to know more, especially about all of the characters.
Some chapters are very short, and there are too many empty pages for a book of only 288 pages (hardcover edition), so I kind of felt cheated.
Regardless, I thought this was very compelling, original and a refreshing read.
I would label it as speculative fiction.
Really fascinating.
