Read this immediately after Baby Teeth and can definitely say it had good continuity. It was interesting to see who Hanna became as an adult, but I was hoping that her character would be a bit darker than she was. This was an OKAY take on adults with cluster b disorders and/or attachment issues, but Stage doesn't claim to be an expert in psychology so I'll let it slide.
Overall, I thought I would like this better than Baby Teeth because it was difficult for me to read a story about a villainized child, but I actually didn't. Could have been better, but can still appreciate it for what it is. If you're looking for horror, this isn't it.
