This book was like a middle-grade “The Shining”. It had INCREDIBLE atmosphere. However, it didn’t feel super captivating, and the character development was lacking. I kind of wish the whole thing had been engineered to be told from only Coco’s POV so that there was a deeper dive into her character.
