Somehow this really felt like a slice of life book with some horror in. But it was so well told I enjoyed the hell of out of the story. 

I don't know what tipped it but I immediately called who the bad guy ended up being. Maybe I've read to many horror or Stephen King books, but the moment the bad guy came into the pages. I pointed at him and say, that's him, that's the one.
