You Killed Me First by John Marrs — The Ending BROKE My Brain

We just finished reading You Killed Me First by John Marrs… and let's just say, we could not agree on this one. I thought the book was wildly confusing, full of unbelievable twists, and an ending that made absolutely no sense. Meanwhile, Joseph? He loved it. He actually said he'd read it again. Madness.

In this video, we break down the plot, talk through the chaotic structure, and debate whether the ending was brilliant or just bonkers. If you've ever read a thriller that made you question your own intelligence, this might be it. Was it clever? Or was it just trying too hard?

Drop your thoughts in the comments — are you Team “This Book Was Nonsense” or Team “It Slayed”?
