What did I just read? This one was for book club and outside of my comfort zone. It’s incredibly dark and spookily violent, lots of rot and decay and toxicity. And then it just ended with no real resolution. Not my favorite but sometimes those are the best conversation starters. I am sure I will have lots of things to say.
