Well that was intense. I dont know if its the coffee but im feeling so restless and i cant move on. The ending, i guess, was to be expected? For sure the main characters couldnt be together not with their circumstance... but deep down i kinda wished for it however twisted it may be. Then it is true, after all, psychopaths don't appear to be psychopaths at all.
Some important comments i agree with:
"Alex definitely fits the definition of a serial killer. I can see why so many people love him. Contrary to popular beliefs, serial killers are very likable and very charismatic, usually very popular. That's how they lure their victims and it's so hard to catch them. They never suspicious. They're too nice, too kind, and overall great. To people Clark would be more suspicious because he's cold hearted, calculative and manipulative but unlikely to become a serial killer because the emotional aspect or lack of emotions. Of course I wouldn't say they do the right things but probably in the gray area. Not evil but not good either."
"a lot of people are disappointed that it didn’t end how they’d hoped - the thought of Alex being ‘cured’ and everyone living happily ever after - but that’s not how things work. This story probably would have lost some points if it had ended that way, it wouldn’t have made as much sense. I feel that the impactful stories are the ones that hurt, that leave you longing for something. This is it. Not all stories you read will have the ending you want! Appreciate it nonetheless"
