I loved the idea of this book. The blurb sounded so good and I was so excited to read it but I ended up forcing myself to finish and I honestly wish I hadn’t.

This was weird. Like it was ok at first and it did get interesting, but I didn’t love how went. I also wish they made this scarier or more unsettling.

Not a fan. The realizations of the characters were so behind my realizations, not because I'm brilliant but because I felt like things were said ten times before our main character got it. It drove me absolutely nuts.
