This book was fine. Extremely readable and easy to follow, I'd categorize it as a cozy horror since the "horror" aspects were very mild and not that big of a part of the book. This was mosty a "coming of age" of the main character who felt like I read from a 17-year-old, and not a 30-year-old. The plot had a lot of potential, but I feel like it didn't meet that potential and I was underwhelmed by the time I finished it. I still had a fun time and I'm glad I've read it, I'd probably read more from the author, but I don't think I'll remember this one for long.
Moderate: Body horror, Toxic friendship, Alcohol, Toxic relationship, and Body shaming
