I enjoyed the uncertainty of whether we could trust the narrator or not. Obviously, we are inclined to see the world through the lens of the narrator, but knowing that the antagonist of the book is a child we think that the narrator then must be unreliable.
Overall, a great novel that keeps you turning the page and wanting to find out more while keeping an interesting perspective on motherhood and its darker manifestations.
