How can I even explain to you that this book is not SCARY, but it IS terrifying? It is horrific in a way that I wasn’t fully prepared for, and also in ways that I can’t even fully comprehend. It’s gutting. It will haunt me, and I’m grateful.
Please read the trigger warnings before reading

i feel like the message just got completely lost and the haunted house metaphor was trying to be so many things all at once that i just. couldn’t understand.
also so much fucking trauma and it just felt a bit like layering all this awful stuff for shock value and to justify that something bad happened.
idk the concept was good and maybe i’m a bit too dumb to understand it all but this just didn’t really feel like a coherent story

honestly i could mark nearly all of the content warnings for this book. please be careful
