![]() ![]() I loved how this story used some of the familiar YA moments (Logan coming to meet Delilah after her part-time library job, for example, or driving her to school) to make a twisted, manipulative relationship, and develop the page-turning cat-and-mouse suspense. ![]() It’s our first sign that sweet Delilah might have her own secrets and motivations, and sets the rest of the suspense and revenge in motion. Logan’s creepy stalking, I mean, his pure undying love for Delilah gets him evidence of her doing something very, very illegal. This is the good kind of unreliable narrator in a thriller, because he recounts completely messed-up activities, while certain that he’s the one in the right and Delilah will come around, not the annoying kind of unreliable narrator where the big reveal is “oh, that guy was just lying the whole time. Logan is completely convinced that all the stalking and manipulation is romance, but he keeps hinting at a deeply disturbing relationship with his former crush. Logan gets a little too obsessed with the girls he’s interested in, starting with social media stalking and ending with… well, it makes a detailed Instagram investigation seem innocent. The story is told in alternating chapters, by Logan and Delilah, almost like the book is laughing at the YA romance style. ![]() The Obsession by Jesse Q Sutanto is a suspense novel about a twisted high school romance. ![]()
