BUT...flat and unlikeable characters and super mid pacing + prose are both made objectively worse by the "edgy white horror guy" standard sensitivity pitfalls--super flat POC who are the two most annoying side characters, random fatphobia, reference to holocaust themes as shock value etc.
Generally, the book is a miss and best case strong adaptation fodder.

I don't read horror often, but after having heard about this from several people in separate conversations this book made it on my radar. So when I found it in my bookstore I had to pick it up. I'm very glad I waited to find a physical copy instead of reading the e-book as I was planning. Highly recommend reading it this way.
The plot was ok, with a twist ending that made me doubt everything. The characters were a bit unlikable to me, making it hard for me to care what happens to them. Despite that I was intrigued to see what would happen to them next.
It was a short, interesting and weirdly fun (though disturbing) read. Happy to have picked this one up.
