The Return

I truly hated this and should have DNF’d, but I was driving so couldn’t switch to something else. 

The whole book is basically a group of friends asking each other ‘what’s wrong with Julie?’ And then whisper arguing over who should confront her about her teeth and sudden switch from being a vegetarian to eating meat. 

The ‘reveal’ literally made no sense in the context of this story and the ending was so pathetic it actually made me feel angry.

4.5...? I really enjoyed this book, listened to the audiobook (Sarah Scott is a great narrator for this book, btw) in the span of a day). It was quick and easy and enjoyable. I just can’t give it a five because there was no “wow” factor that I usually save my 5-stars for. I’m torn though, because it was perfectly enjoyable. Great beach/vacation read if you’re into horror without wanting a tome like a King or Koontz.
