The style of writing threw me off at the start - it’s written as one long confessional with dialogue only from one perspective so you never know what the other people might be saying. However, as you get deeper into the story it’s entirely gripping. Strong female perspective that is complex and interesting.

This book was another enjoyable book by Stephen King for me. The characters developed well over time, and were pretty lovable despite their (obvious) flaws. The plot also had twists that were both expected and unexpected. It would have perhaps been more enjoyable for me without the Maine accent in the writing, but other than that I find this book to be fairly underrated.
