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.

This book is interesting, but the pace is much too slow and it throws off the flow of the story. Which is unfortunate, because it really is a good plot!
