Twist: The entire third act didn't happen. It was actually the third act of a biography the MC was writing about another character whose life they fucked up (and then the character died). Their altered biography was an attempt to make up for doing what they did. But do they deserve forgiveness just for writing about the better life that character never got? If you're observant, you'll notice the chapter number switch from numbers to words.

In case you're wondering the title: Atonement

The main character is actually a female. They reveal this at the end, and it doesn't really even make sense with respect to the rest of the story, and it kind of muddles a good ending needlessly, and somewhat ruins and otherwise good book, but that's what fucking happens.
