The main character was a bit annoying as she kind of fictionalises the world and assumes that movies are proportional to reality which is fine as a character flaw but it's not like her theories are ever really disproved

extra points for the queer coding i guess

Anyways, i wasn't really too scared ehile reading so whatever

Quite the ride was had here. I struggled with some passages where I had to reread to understand but I think I was reading too fast at times. I enjoyed the book, the horror movie easter eggs and Jade's ultimate transformation.
