Reread this. An amazing book but the writing style is just too simple to be 5 stars

I love the ending. I love how the mum didnt question how Mina drew the same man as in her dream

It saddens me that they didnt name the baby until she got better in fear she wouldnt survive :(

Wow.. I've read this book before around when I was 13-15, so over ten years ago. I could only remember the dark atmosphere.
This started pretty light, and I was maybe a bit dissapointed, but around 50 pages I was really invested.
The themes around death hit a bit too close to my current personal life, so needless to say I felt quite a lot of anxiety towards the climax.
I'm really glad I re-read this as a 26-year old.
