A quick and haunting story fleshed out and told from an often unheard perspective. Honestly, not much to it, but I appreciated the read!

Yes.

Madeline at it again with her gut wrenching stories😔 I couldn't put this one down, I was glued to it. It was dark, morbid, and I'm realizing that's my type of shit despite what I believed. It's a little bit more raw than her previous works, so that was jarring at first.

My copy had a little note from Madeline, which just made me love her and this work more.

I still cannot stop thinking about this book help me

I absolutely adored the ending! It reminded me of those dark fairytales (Little Mermaid esque). I think it's a perfect conclusion, and absolutely metal as hell, which is the shit I love.
