This had me but then lost me and then had me again. I was so invested 30% in and loved the switching narrative but then it got way less scary/creepy and more bordering on lit fic I guess? But overall I enjoyed. 

I do have to say..
wtf is up with a father telling his daughter he and her mom “needed to f*ck like rabbits”? Excuse me? Bro you could’ve just said you needed a date night. Based on how the MC described their relationship they did not have that kind of banter so he was being straight with that comment. So off-putting and made a letter not really sound like a letter.


I listens via audio and the narration was AMAZING.
