The ending of this book brings everything together in a horrifying and heartbreaking way, but the build up didn't quite do it for me.
I know this was originally written in parts on the #nosleep subreddit and it does show. I wish there had been a few more passes to make this feel more like a cohesive novel.
I also think I maybe don't really love reading about kindergartners. I enjoyed the book more when the characters were older.
CW: It seems like something bad happens to a cat.
2/5 creepy polaroids
