I didn't like this at all. I don't know why I finished it. Stubborn I guess.

For one, I just couldn't relate with Erin at all. Her psychotic dependence on Silas was annoying and inexplicable. I understand it's a commentary on addiction, but all the characters just sucked so much.

Also, the author has a choking fetish or something because, boy howdy, did they use the word "throat" excessively and repeatedly depict and describe choking.

Final word, it was upsetting and not worth the message. idk

The concept of the story is intriguing enough to make you want to read it… and that’s it. Sadly the characters are all insufferable with no real sense of commitment to anyone but themselves. The plot becomes messy about halfway through. It is a spooky read with some good descriptions of horror and body horror sprinkled in, however those descriptions can’t save the book. The ending is entirely chaotic and anti-climatic at the same time. It’s disappointing. I really wanted to love this book because the concept is so interesting and had potential to be an incredibly moving storyline.

this book is crazy. it feels like a fever dream to read. the characters are all pretty insufferable but luckily it didn’t ruin the experience.
