I'm Thinking of Ending Things: A Novel

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016

â€œIâ€™m Thinking of Ending Things is one of the best debut novels Iâ€™ve ever read. Iain Reid has crafted a tight, ferocious little book, with a persistent tenor of suspense that tightens and mounts toward its visionary, harrowing final pagesâ€ (Scott Heim, award-winning author of Mysterious Skin and We Disappear).

Iâ€™m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. Itâ€™s always there. Always.

Jake once said, â€œSometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you canâ€™t fake a thought.â€

And hereâ€™s what Iâ€™m thinking: I donâ€™t want to be here.

In this â€œdark and compellingâ€¦unputdownableâ€ (Booklist, starred review) literary thriller, debut novelist Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jose Saramagoâ€™s early work, Michel Faberâ€™s cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shriverâ€™s We Need to Talk about Kevin, Iâ€™m Thinking of Ending Things is an edgy, haunting debut. Tense, gripping, and atmospheric, this novel â€œpacks a big psychological punch with a twisty story line and an ending that will leave readers breathlessâ€ (Library Journal, starred review).
