I loved this book. Such a unique plot (and seemingly so believable!). It scared the bejeezus outta me, but in a good way!

This novel was a wonderfully-written and suspenseful commentary on toxic masculinity and the complexity of the human psyche. It is a tale of survival - not from ghosts, but from real life.
