Im Thinking of Ending Things is one of the best debut novels Ive ever read.

Im thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. Its 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 cant fake a thought.

And heres what Im thinking: I dont want to be here.
