I really wanted to love this one. It was okay, but the main reason it gets 3 stars instead of 2 is because I am just obsessed with books formatted like this! But the story itself didn’t live up to my expectations. I expected it to be waaaaaay scarier. It had its horror-like elements, to be sure, but overall it felt more like a story about a mentally ill person, as opposed to hauntings/possessions like I expected. I just wanted a lot more from this
