I've seen a lot of white reviewers complain that this book wasn't thrilling, wasn't creepy. As a white person myself I'd just like to ask if they read the same book. This book was the definition of unsettling. The creepiness, the dread, it starts in chapter one and never stops from there.
I loved Sydney and Theo. I loved how easily I could get into both of their minds, how well fleshed out and how human they both were. Both were so flawed but had such good intentions, and I was rooting for them both the entire time.
