podanotherjessi's review against another edition
Let me start with a positive. This book is genuinely creepy and unsettling. I won't say scary, but it did make my skin crawl. But... that's it. That's the one good thing I found in this book.
This book sensationalizes depression and self harm. It leaned into stereotypes about minorites. The characters were unlikable - which I normally don't mind - but they were also shallowly written. I was rooting for the ghost. And the pace was so fast I just lost interest because who cares where it's going? It felt like it was already there and then chugging along for no reason.
Honestly, I would have given up like 20% earlier if I wasn't reading with a friend. We got to this point before realizing we'd both lost any interest and were just pushing through for the other.
