4.0

i would recommend that almost nobody reads this book. maybe i am just a wimp when it comes to horror but i felt like this was so unnecessarily gross and stomach-churning. i do have to say the plot was so well thought out, the characters were very well-rounded, and the writing was incredible. that is why the rating is so high. please please check content warnings!!!!!!!

I can't think of any words to sum up how I feel about this book. I guess I'll keep it simple and say it's the best thing I've ever read. Nothing can top this, I know that for certain. 
Michael will always be in my heart. Reb will always be around the corner.
