It's technically slow-paced, but I read it in less than a day because it was so compelling. And yes, it is "pulse-pounding" as stated in the description (source: my heart, pounding, for the entirety of the last 5 chapters). This book is horrifying because it reminds you that monsters aren't always obvious - they can look like regular, upstanding, highly regarded people. When I read the author's acknowledgements, I was shocked to see this is her debut thriller as it's so beautifully written!!!! I do wish we could hear more about what happened "after" - but I think it ended at a really respectable place.


Also sorry but I have to say that GirlWithThePinkSkiMask (the first review I see when looking at this book) has maybe the worst take on this book I've ever seen? Like, sorry you don't think it's a big deal for someone who hasn't seen the sky in over 5 years to sensationalize the moment a little bit????? And sorry you think it's dumb that the MC is a little too descriptive about how a bed feels when, again, she's spent FIVE YEARS LAYING ON A SHED FLOOR AND IS NOT USED TO BEDS???? AHHHHHHH. Okay whatever ANYWAY. Sorry you can't deal with descriptive writing???

I couldn’t put this book down. So good! Some unrealistic scenarios, but all in all, I loved this book. The ending almost seemed rushed though.
