I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did! The ending definitely wasn’t what I wanted but it is what it is. Can’t wait to see the movie based on this

It was pretty easy to figure out the twist early on, but the actual ending itself really took me by surprise.

I enjoyed this far more than I was expecting to, despite figuring out the big twist early on. It was well written, genuinely spooky at times (had me looking out my dark window multiple times, lol) and the characters were well flushed out. 

It read like an M. Night Shyamalan movie, so I'm excited to see the film when it comes out.
