This book by Mira Day was one of the most intense books that I have read in a long time. There are so many important aspects of this book that lead up to the climatic ending that I had to slow down so I wouldn't miss anything. This book shows readers that people can easily become something they question. From the very beginning of this story the relationship between Jenny and Brandon pulled the readers along for their emotional journey and wouldn't let go. Truly amazing.
Thank you NetGalley and Mira Day for allowing me to read and review this book.

As a whole I don't love short stories or novellas. I like a book that burns slow and drags me in to its grasp often not letting go. Midnight Show was the first book I had read by Mira (Author), I didn't have any expectations at all and what enticed me with this book was the cover and the synopsis. I was disappointed when I loaded it onto my kindle and saw how short it was, but was soon drawn in by the opening chapter.

Midnight show is a twisty kind of book. I do love books that hold that lead me to think something then throw it on its head and this book definitely did that. The connection between Brandon and Jenny is clear and I felt the realism of it. This is not a typical Happy ever after kind of book. In fact this book bought some real emotions to me at times and when a book can cause a physical emotion when reading it, then you have to get props to that <applauds>. I've not read anything like it in a while and when a book stays with me after I put it down, that's rare. Midnight Show did just that.

I don't want to talk about the story, you can look at other reviews for that. I don't give spoilers. In fact all I want to say is read this book. I admit, this will not be for everyone. I don't think I've ever wrote such an evasive review (I apologise for that). My review rating changed throughout the book, I think its because it took me a while to actually decide while reading whether I liked it. I want to say 3.5 stars, at times I felt this was a 4 star book and also a 3 star. At the end I would have liked 'more', but I often feel like that at the end of a book.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley (thank you very much to NetGalley and Xpresso Book Tours) in exchange for an honest review. Unfortunately, while I was very interested in this book based on its blurb, it wasn't for me. While Brandon and Jenny's early friendship was sweet and lovely to read about, I found their character development didn't sit right with me. Maybe I've read too much about mental illness but I picked up on Brandon's Dissociative Identity Disorder in the prologue and found the turn of events too predictable, except for the final twist which just seemed implausible.
