I’m not even 100% of my feelings on this book after finishing it. It was strange. I think I need more time to chew on it mentally. It’s very an almost unfocused rambling kind of sense to it but if you don’t mind that it is interesting.

I highly recommend this book if you like A24 films. The premise is gripping and this book is a quick read. It was intriguing however quite repetitive and ultimately the ending wasn’t very satisfying of a twist (in my opinion- please read it to develop your own). Overall an engaging read but just an okay ending.

I was considering giving this book a 4.5 because I felt the end dragged on wayyyy too long + the writing was a bit too "here's a revelation about the world and let's not dwell" , but I've been thinking about it for days now so it gets a 5 star. It's literally so well crafted and written and it's so creepy and tense. I don't usually like these sorts of books but maybe I'll read the rest of Iain Reid's work because I liked this one so much.

I’ve heard several people say they don’t like this book, and I understand why they think that. But this book really worked for me. I found it to be clever and sufficiently unnerving/scary. The more I think about it, the more I enjoy it.
