I think the premise of this book is very intriguing and I love a good body horror aspect, which this definintely nailed. The book is interesting, it's written fairly simply, but leaves room for the reader to speculate. I did enjoy this and I kept coming back to it.
However, I think it lost the plot somewhere in there. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but it, despite keeping up my intrest, also lost me. I wanted more answers, and there are definitely too many things left open that I don't know anything about. This to the extent that it's not good anymore.
It's an okay book, but not really much more than that. The .5 stars this book gets is mainly because I think the premise and body horror was good enough to warrant something better than 3 stars.
