I understand the criticisms of this book, I do, but I couldn’t help but connect with it. An interesting, blood-pumping reflection on trauma and on privilege. I’m not really familiar with monster horror, but the monster being a metaphor is a motif that I love.

I Hated all the characters, they didn't have any personality except for the stereotypes.
None of the characters had any chemistry with eachother.
The ending sucked.

I absolutely consumed this book. It took me roughly twelve hours to read it, and I did that in the span of two days. This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite books.

first book i’ve finished in one sitting in years, meant to only read one chapter before bed and got completely hooked. was enjoyable and tense and didn’t give too much away too soon. only thing was some character interactions could have had a lot more emotion behind them especially with the situations they’re in. overall amazing :)
