Its told in three parts:
The first part I did not enjoy much. I thought it was just full of cheesy horror clichés, which in its defence, was meant to be the point. It’s just not at all my thing, and the writing felt lazy and gross.
The second part changed my interest entirely, and turned into the type of fever dream horror that I absolutely love.
The third part weaves the first two parts together seamlessly, and made most of the criticisms I had towards the first part make complete sense.
I hated this book at first, and ended up obsessed over some of the small patterns and details I didn’t notice until thinking back in hindsight.
If the first part was a 3 star at best, the second part turned it into a 3.5, and the third part made it 4.
But I’m still going to nock some points off for throw away lines that seem inappropriate to find in a book written this year, as well as tropes that I find tired and unnecessary, even though I understand that it’s part of the story being told.

If you're a fan of Stranger Things, Goosebumps, and books that go bump in the night, this may just be the book for you.
