3.5

I enjoyed this book a lot, I only wish the author was a LITTLE less weird about kids. I don't think we needed an in depth description of a kid who keeps pissing himself deciding to stick memory foam on his penis which he calls "the pissball". That seemed unnecessary.

Fantastic character development and great inversion of a romance novel while keeping very strong horror elements. Just be warned: this is not an easy book to read at times and can get pretty graphic. The content warnings for this one are very applicable.
