HOLY. CRAP. This book is TERRIFYING. I am so glad I read this in the morning. That's right. Singular morning. I read it in one sitting- Just a bit over two hours.
The main character is trying to escape an abusive, codependent half-relationship with her highschool ex only to find his ghost literally haunting her.
Fascinating ideas about how history sticks around, whether you notice it or not; about how addiction can consume people; about how grief can sometimes seem inescapable and what happens when you let the past consume you.
DEFINITELY worth your time if those themes, or the prospects of nightmares intrigue you.

Do you enjoy books about stupid annoying unlikable people doing stupid annoying unlikable things? If so, this one is for you! The premise was interesting but execute poorly.
