A true horror book that starts a bit slow but escalates to an ending that was deeply satisfying. I did almost wish for it to be multi-POV so that I could see things from the other character's perspectives as well, I'm super curious about their lives!

I liked Rose a lot- I always like curious characters who, like me, would click on every single object or npc in a video game to double check if it's interactable.
OH, very important:

For a book that centers around a gay conversion camp, the book doesn't talk much about the day-to-day reality or go into really intense detail about the emotional and religious abuse that happens there. Like, it obviously happens, butpopsicleplease's review against another edition
