My first five star of 2024.
Where to begin on this book? It was so impactful, and my first thought was that I was so glad I bought it instead of borrowing it from the library.
This book was listed as horror, and while it does deal with some horror-like themes, I find it more psychological and just dark themed than anything.
What stuck out to me the most about this book were the themes of loss. I found myself clutching this book to my chest after every story and absorbing it.
Please don't go in to this book expecting something scary. If you like dark and psychological, stories that make you think, then definitely DEFINITELY go for this one. I will be re reading.
