Oh my I loved this book!!! It was different from your typical suspense thriller!! The twist was perfect! I can’t say much because it will give everything away but this was a very quick read and the ghost story aspect mixed in was fantastic!

The end portions feel a bit rushed and contrived but I was gripped and steadily reading for much of this novel.

A large aspect of the conclusion of this book’s plot could be described as potentially transphobic, making a kid conform to a gender identity that isn’t their own

This was a great read. It reminded me of ‘the turn of the key’ by Ruth Ware (which is a good thing). I also really liked the ending, because

it didn’t end with the main character breaking her sobriety.

it is a great story showcasing that even through hard times, you can stay sober. I really liked how the author incorporated that into the story, and showed how previous addicts can get better and have a full life.
