this was horrid. but i cant stop thinking about it and that’s why i’m rating it so high (compared to most reviews). i love psychological horror, but this was unnecessarily gruesome. i also wished it was less fast paced, the personality switch for both characters was very sudden and i wish it was more slowly done. something about this book stands out to me. maybe it’s how rancid the plot is. maybe it’s the ending. maybe it’s how shocked i felt the entire half hour it took to read.
