I cried at the end of this book. I was mortified and gross out and thoroughly entertained, and I cried. This book has really intense and gross scenes, and everything else is dark and mysterious and packed with slasher-movie levels of fun. I adored it. Perfect for the spooky season, such a fun, gross book:) Also adore the cover I could stare at it all day.
