this made my skin crawl in the best of ways - the interstitial chapters were SUPERB and jade was such a magnificent character to witness.

i thought this was a new adult book until like twenty pages in my bad. i was so let down jade was 17 and not... like... 22.
i cried at the last forty pages but then went "what. what? what???" until the end. unhinged. i cant decide if it was unhinged in a genius or stupid way, but i will say thatbeing horny for a ghost that is horny for you also in a toxic yuri way and also a "wow you are so repressed colonialism slash misogyny slash queerphobia is a hell of a thing huh" is one of the more unique interpretations of "this house eats people" ive seen.
i think the fact everyone sucks so bad throws people off but that just made my chest ache with how real it felt. that was my dad. thats my eldest daughter trauma. im gonna lose it.

sabesaw's review against another edition
It's just boring and hard to follow in audiobook format. The most interesting things are the family dynamic, budding relationship with Florence, ans the family history.
