The ending did seem to speed by a bit quicker than I could follow but I think it added to the fever dream quality of it.
If you like black mirror, A24, and (kind of) Get Out, you’re going to LOVE this
The only reason this wasn’t a 5 was because of how loose the horror elements are. The looming presence seems to jump around a lot and leaves us with more questions than (any?) answers. While this typically works, I wish I had one thread to grab onto just so I can understand what was going on. But maybe that’s the point…

The most challenging aspect of this book is how sad and emotional it is. The grief felt by the characters is so strong that is seems to seep out of the pages themselves. This book is heavy, dark, and emotional; and thus may not be the best choice for all readers or all occasions. However, the sadness is this book does not feel exploitative, over the top, or pointless; it is not sad for sadnesses sake and there is a lot the reader takes away with them aside from a good cry. As someone who can struggle to get though sad stories, this one was definitely worth it.
