This was just so bleak. I'd put this down and find it tough to get motivated to pick it back up. It's not a bad book at all - it's well written. Just wholly depressing.

So it turns out that Head Full of Ghosts is an outlier for me. Nothing else by Tremblay has really captured me. That said, this was still better than Cabin at the End of the World.

I read a couple of Paul Tremblay’s books and they always leave me questioning something, this one however left me in tears. I loved it and hated it - if you’ve read it you understand what I mean. Fantastic book, but heartbreakingly honest.
