WOW! What a wonderfully written story! When you think you have it figured out and have made all of your assumptions you find out you're dead wrong! Such a gripping and original read. I loved it!

This was atmospheric and raised the hairs on the back of my neck. Ultimately it was a story of hope and the enjoyment of life.

I am going to keep this review short and simple.

This was OK. It is one of those very few instances where I think the movie will be better than the book. We will see.

I am SUPER curious to see how the cat POV is done in the movie because that is where the book lost me for the most part. Everything else was good. Not great. But the cat POV was very ????????? to me.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this book. I wanted it to keep going and going, it was so good. This was probably my favorite read of 2023.
