4.0

It was a very interesting read. The beginning and end became exciting and quick paced while the middle was kind of slow. Almost the opposite of what you’d expect. Interesting twist, but also kind of BS in an M. Night Shyamalan kind of way.

4.5

A couple too many driving scenes and stays in decrepit hotels/houses bogged down the narrative in the middle. However, overall I found it to be a provocative and authentic-feeling exploration of American culture, rounded out by a slow burn small-town mystery and anchored by a fantastical romance.
