Très original, j'ai bien l'ambiance angoisse au bord de la mer mais lecture vraiment trop laborieuse pr moi car je n'ai accroché avec aucun des personnages.

I mean. I liked the start. BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHINGGGGGG like i left so confused. pardon me if im dumb but likeeeeeee

I was in this for a good, long while. Eventually though, I felt it start to collapse under it's own structure. I settled on having enjoyed it, but I think it took more work than necessary to bring the pieces together in a satisfying way. Interested in more from this author.

What just happened.

Thank you to Libro.fm for the ALC.

Ward has such a way of weaving complicated but human stories. Loved this from beginning to end.

This was such a surprise. The first half was creepy as heck and the second half was weird in a fascinating way. I did find some of the writing choppy. Overall a great read. Really unexpected.
