This was a quick little short story that left me thinking about so many things. As the journal entries progress, it becomes more clear that the main character has some sort of mental illness she’s dealing with, and a husband that isn’t very supportive. It definitely had me asking various questions as I read, while also keeping me engaged in the story. The author did a great job creating a mysterious and creepy atmosphere. I think this book is a great conversation starter!

I loved this it's very interesting within itself but even more so when you consider the various metaphors and analogies it can communicate.
