When it comes to ambiguous open endings, I usually don't mind because I can imagine what I want to follow as an epilogue.  That requires having a good foundation though and this book lacked that in spades.  When the title is the book, you question everything.

It was really good, but I wouldn’t recommend it, at least not without a full list of trigger warnings😅

The audiobook though 👏🏻so good👏🏻 one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to! The voice actors gave it there all and really sold me the story, so much so that it felt real

Creepy, compelling, twisted, unsettling and disturbing, but very easy to fly through!

This is one of those books, where I finished it and all I can think is “what tf did I just read?” And I genuinely don’t know what or who to believe.
