Some of the dialogue and interactions were quite cheesy as well, especially between Joe and Gloria & Joe and Brendan. Not sure how I felt about her portrayal of Brendan as an Irish man constantly saying “feck” ALL the time. Is this Father Ted?
I will say this book was a page-turner. It kept me engaged enough, but overall the execution disappointed me. A shame because I remember really liking The Chalk Man when I read it!

CJ Tudor does very good at creating the same atmosphere as Stephen King she mentions as the author that's inspiring to her... down right to the weird takes and unnecessarily offensive shit. I can take it, but the *and they were autistic* 🤯 characters for not particular reason, just to show that you are ignorant as hell is just stupid.
