1.5/5 stars rounded up.
I grabbed this ARC because the blurb sounded interesting but unfortunately the execution did not deliver for me. I considered DNFing this a few times.
The story itself did not live up to the expectations that I had in my mind and I found this book incredibly slow and truthfully, boring. I appreciated the insight into the toxic relationship and what the goal was here, but I found myself really struggling with the characters. The characters just felt unreachable to me and flat. The story felt as though it took forever to start gaining momentum and everything felt increasingly repetitive. This story could've been much, much shorter.
The tone in this book was ominous and unsettling, but it seems as though it didn't build up to much in the end. I was excited for this book and hoping that it was going to be a hit for me, but it was a tough read.
Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit Books for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
