However, I found the narrative voice quite hard to stomach. I’m sure it was a creative choice but due to the characters past there wasn’t very many peaks and troughs in their emotion which meant it was always tense. This meant the severity of certain moments wasn’t as tense as it could be.
So I think the plot was good just some of the authors creative choices weren’t for me.

The writing is fantastic in a really modest way. Descriptions never drew attention to themselves but I always knew exactly what was going on with the perfect amount of metaphor.
The pacing was incredible, though I think I was expecting a bit more slasher thriller vibe than strictly secrets and psychological thriller vibe which is maybe one of the only major negative critiques.
It was a fantastic read and a great way to spend a Saturday!
