If you like Reid already, it's worth the read. If you're new to Reid, maybe start with a different book of his first.

I picked it up after seeing so many speak highly of the story and quality of the writing. Also, I found it intriguing that the main character was an elderly woman, seeing as older folks aren’t often the protagonists of many novels — but that’s a discussion for another day.
I thought the form elevated the plot, which makes sense. And as a result, the reader gets lost in the gaps on the page, as well as the presence of time and how it’s played with throughout.
There was still just enough creepy elements to hold this in the psychological horror for me, but it’s definitely lighter than anything else I’ve picked up recently. But I enjoyed that quite a bit.
I think the writing was stellar and pulls me into this author even more. I can’t wait to check out more of Reid’s work!
