AHHHH this started out unsettling and then you think everything’s fine there is really an explanation for everything and then you get the REAL explanation and you’re like oh god this is disturbing and upsetting and so many things are happening AND THEN you get the actual end of the book and you’re right back to the feelings from the beginning. Jennifer McMahon is such a master of writing weird and unsettling topics about things that are just slightly at the edge of reality but maybe actually could be real. Part of me wants to re-listen to it immediately just to see the entire journey with the bird’s eye view I now have. I had a good time on this rollercoaster of a disturbing ride but definitely heed the triggers on this one
