Okay, so I just finished 'Trust' and WOW. This book messed with my head in the best possible way. At first I was like 'Wait, what's happening?' but then it all clicked and now I can't stop thinking about it.

The structure is wild - four different perspectives telling what seems like the same story but... not really? It's like that game where you whisper a message around a circle and it changes completely by the end. The financier guy, his wife, the ghostwriter - everyone has their own version of 'the truth'.

What blew my mind was realizing how much Mildred (the wife) was actually pulling the strings behind the scenes. That reveal in the diary section? Chef's kiss! The way Diaz hides this brilliant woman's role until the very end makes you rethink everything you just read.

Also can we talk about how timely this feels? With all the fake news and AI-generated content today, this book about manipulating narratives hits different. Andrew Bevel would totally be using ChatGPT to rewrite history if he was alive now.

Fair warning: The financial stuff in Part 1 might make your eyes glaze over (mine did), but push through because Parts 3-4 are where the magic happens. That moment when Ida finds Mildred's diary? Chills.

This isn't a light beach read - it demands your full attention. But if you're up for a literary puzzle that'll make you question who to believe, Trust delivers big time. Just don't trust anyone in this book... including maybe Diaz himself!
