This is a tough book to rate because it’s a short read. Chris our main character perfectly embodies the cycles of grief and attempting to find some way to move forward in your life. This author does a great job of delving into emotions through horror and portraying characters that are strong willed and complex when facing uncertainty. I didn’t love the ending which is the only reason I’m taking off one star. It was interesting but didn’t quite feel complete. Look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
