Jade was intolerable most of the book, her paranoia and rambling was frustrating and hard to get through. I wish there was more focus on the plot and less on slasher movies as I don’t get 99% of the references and have no idea what she was referring to. The ending was way off in left field but was super entertaining for a horro reader.
A lot of trigger warnings, if you can get through the beginning it’s worth the end.

My second read through of this book and it's honestly better on a second read. Jade's longing for someone to care for her, her desire for safety in her life, the emphasis on what parents should do are just all so well done. Beautiful writing, beautiful characters, just a beautiful story. I also appreciated the ending so much more than I did the first time.
