genuinely frightening!! very atmospheric, unsettling. enjoyed the dialogue in the first half a lot, too. minus points for the ending but really enjoyed the ride up until then.

I do not like thriller or horror books and reading this has definitely confirmed that for me. While this book was pretty well written and used very interesting and intentional rhetoric, I just did not enjoy how this book made me feel. I often found myself unsettled after reading it and just unmotivated to continue reading this book.

A fever dream where the twist makes all the difference. Not sure how to feel about this one, and definitely threw me for a loop

Not entirely sure how to feel. I enjoyed aspects of it but feel I might be too dumb to fully understand everything. Like I think I get it but I don't think I do at the same time.
