The premise of this story was very intriguing, and I liked the mystery of it. I do think this book is would have been better as a fully fleshed-out novel or as a longer novella. With it being only about one hundred pages, a lot of the relationships developing and the stalking of the main character felt very rushed. The epilogue from the mother’s POV was also a little confusing. Overall, a very interesting idea that just needs more space to develop.
