The writing itself isn't that bad, but the beginning and end of this book really are. The beginning is extremely boring and filled with superficial philosophy,
As for the characters, I cannot stand the main one, (whose POV we always follow) I was actually constantly rooting for her death. I am aware she represents more than appears at first sight, but I still find her insufferable.
On a brighter note, or darker in this case, I felt the tense and ominous environment was really well maintained from the half point onwards, but this wasn't enough to save this book for me.

The way that tension builds throughout the novel, from the man in the window, to the Caller, the farm, the parents - honestly haven’t read anything else that felt so vividly creepy before. The description of the pigs was delightfully revolting, the only other book that’s made me so viscerally disgusted was the ending of ‘things have gotten worse since we last spoke’ (also an amazing read)
Admittedly, it did get off to a bit of a slow start, but I’ve been on a string of DNFs so I pushed my self through the first quarter/third, and the rest was just stellar!
