Amaizing writing. Perfect if you like horror and gore. I just love King's way of explaining relationships and conflicts.

Not really sure what I was getting myself into other than girl with powers seeks revenge. 

Book turned out to be a much easier read than The Shining. Having chapters would have been easier for me imo to keep pace instead of stopping before/after an article or excerpt or a line break.

Ending was okay -

bruh he tied it back to periods bc of how the first chapter started 💀

.

I tried to list the content warnings as best as I could - some may be incorrect.

what is up with SK and boobs bruh .-.
