One complaint is the cast of characters speak very similarly, particularly in how they share anecdotes/stories — which is likely more of a theme that the author is putting in place deliberately, but it stands out nonetheless.
Editing to bump this to 5 stars, since I keep thinking about it and find it's very much deserved.

there are moments of genuine arguable horror, but this is not a horror book. it does not concern itself with the horror genre, instead leaning towards dissecting the human psyche. this is not a happy story, and does not have happy ending, but with the tale the author set up, i truly don't think it could've ended any other way.

I do wish that Leah had gotten a POV chapter in the present, and a few of Miri's chapters had some weird biphobia for no real reason, but other than that I loved it.
