So this book is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I was hesitant to read this book solely based on hype, and glad I finally did. It begins like a slasher read and quickly becomes something more sinister and psychological, a think piece into generational trauma if you will. The characters start off one note but become more complex as you get more from the past/present timelines. Excellent story that hooked me from page one.
