mm.. i don’t know what to think about this one. I enjoyed the twist, but i felt like i needed more from the story and i just didn’t get it. it was pretty spooky though!

I’m a bit of a genre-reader—horror novels are my jam—and it’s been a long time since a book legitimately scared the hell out me. The final 50 or so pages left me sweating with a hollow feeling in my stomach. Absolutely unexpected; *will* be thinking about it for days. Would totally recommend.

Yep, I liked this one. Especially the last 80/100 pages.

What I like most about Paul Tremblay’s book is that he manages to create the narrator perfectly. Mary is crafted into a young girl we have all known: goofy, stubborn, annoying, inquisitive, and seeking the approval and attention of her older sister and parents. Now an adult, Mary recounts the story of her life for the first time to a biographer in what will be a cathartic and illuminating experience.
