This was a very different ghost story - certainly not what I expected, but that’s also not necessarily a bad thing! 👻
I loved the harm OCD and queer representation in this! I enjoyed the Beth character I think the most out of all. The pacing did feel sluggish especially at the midpoint. Some of the more minor characters I was left wondering if there was even a point to them. 👀
This book definitely did not go where I was expecting it to go - if you are thinking of reading this for horror, you will be sadly disappointed! However, I did enjoy Cullen’s beautiful prose and the relationship between Cassie and Beth as the book progressed! I’d recommend this for literary fiction lovers! 👏
Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the gifted early finished copy in exchange for my honest review! ❤️
