Considering this book is 30 years old it aged… let’s say fine. A lot of things are going on that an author from the 2020s wouldn’t dare to write down but Phoebe is actually an amazing character in a world that is still pushing discriminating narratives.

Still, Phoebe is a saint because i couldn’t have put up with the annoying, childish, aggression-problems-having man-child that is Daniel.

P.S. Chapter 3 is a fucking jump scare and i don’t EVER want to read something like this again.
