Growing up isn’t inherently loss. It’s just change. 

Really enjoyed this and will be reading more from White!!! 
(-.25 pts for the excessive mention of brow movements ex. Raised their eyebrow/furrowed their brows… I was listening to the audiobook and truly laughed out loud at how often this was mentioned)

This book in 3 words: Eccentric. Disturbing. Abstract.

Our main character, Val, is greeted by some old friends at her father's wake. While it takes some time for Val to remember, it's her cast mates from a show she was on as a child. There's a podcast coming out that's bringing the group back together to discuss all things Mister Magic.

I want to devour every single word Kiersten White has ever written. Ever. I mean it. This book felt like the novel version of creepypasta and I LOVED IT. Here's the thing, I always have 1 foot (at least) in spooky season and this book hits so hard.

I love the mixed media aspect with threads from internet discussions. It pulIs in so many different opinions and views of what *could* be happening. I found this addition really makes the reader think further about what's happening in the story.

The writing is stellar. The characters are rich. The themes are high-stakes and unique for a horror novel. This will end up being one of my favorite reads of the year because I love just being creeped out and IT JUST HITS THE SPOT.
