Wow what an intricate creepy book. Did not expect the plot twists at all and I love when I can look back and see the little clues. Really really good. The illustrations just added so much to it and made it feel real.

this book was not what i had expected going in, but i’m glad i went in mostly blind.
it reminds me a lot of “imaginary friend” by stephen chbosky” and it was phenomenal.
the writing was informal, but not in an amateur way, it felt very personal. the characters were very three dimensional and felt like real people.
at times i felt it was a little over the top with anya, but overall i really enjoyed this book and Will be recommending it!
