I read this book because of all the hype it received on TikTok. I personally don't think it lived up to the hype.

There are some scenes that might make your skin crawl, but I feel that this book is best framed as a comdey-horror.
If you're looking for something scary, this is not the book I'd recommend.
If you're wanting a light horror read, or to dip your toes into the genre, this is a good book for that. 

I really disliked the inclusion of "slave day" during spirit week, as well as the mentioning of one character having done black face in a play in their youth. 
These elements added absolutely nothing to the story/character development/etc and could've been left out without impacting the story line in anyway.

If you like "the power of friendship"-esque tropes, you may enjoy this story.

Also, this book has a bangin' 80s soundtrack.

I really enjoyed the book. Slight spoiler a pet does die. Was NOT a fan of that. I really found the book suspenseful. I found the two main characters lovable and funny. They are best friends so they have the best friends humor.
