I really wanted to read a horror story, just to try if it was my cup of tea or not. 🍵
Overall I enjoyed the story, I liked the dark atmosphere and the plot twist at the end was not predictable at all. Also, since I've never read a horror novel before, that kind of story was very new and interesting for me.
:) 
However, I didn't have an emotional attachment to the characters, therefore I wasn't always that scared for them, nor did I feel any other strong emotions while reading.

1.0

The pacing felt really slow, with a lack of balance between dialogue (either none for pages and pages or monologues) and very detailed descriptions. The characters that felt cliche and hard to root for. I felt like both the narrator withholding  information and the details so heavily eluding to information made it so that nothing felt surprising.

I would instead like to recommend Wilder Girls, which had more intrigue, cooler body horror, and more elements of queerness.

I never knew where the plot was going next. Confusing, intriguing, different to anything else I’ve read.
