I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It was so engaging and I read it over a few days. This book sets a really eerie vibe and fits the gothic genre well. It took a little getting used to the style of writing in this book but it was instrumental to the plot (it kind of reminded me of “Uglies” or “Unwind”). It was definitely heavy handed with the metaphors, imagery and themes , but I honestly didn’t mind it in this book.
