A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is grappling with intrusive thoughts, a sense of being different, or the fear that their internal world is disconnected from reality. It is a sophisticated psychological thriller about Nina, a girl who believes she is mentally linked to a serial killer. As she tracks her suspect, the story delves into themes of identity, the fallibility of perception, and the terrifying possibility that our worst fears might be projections of our own minds. While the plot is high-stakes and intense, it serves as a powerful metaphor for the adolescent struggle to trust one's own intuition and character. Due to mature themes of violence and psychological distress, it is best suited for older teens who enjoy dark, complex mysteries that challenge their perspective.
