I saw the series on Netflix a few years ago and every so often, I was still thinking about it. Then I found out it was based on a book, and I had to read it. The show followed the book very well, and I was creeped out by the book as I was the show.

I thought this was interesting, and I'm excited to see the TV series version of it. Same comment that I've made about Ms. Pinborough before -

it just doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense to throw in supernatural elements into a very real-world story. It almost feels like not incredibly well-thought-out writing? Like there was no way to wrap the plot up in this world, so it has to enter the next?

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

2.5

What started out as a decent, if not formulaic, domestic thriller this story soon became an outlandish psuedo-paranormal fantasy domestic thriller. The giant twist at the end that had everyone talking when this book was published, was definitely interesting but "the doors" and "the swapping" just felt forced.
