This was a good read, but wasn't exactly what I was looking for at the time. It took a long while for the horror elements of this book to start developing for me. It felt more like a contemporary book for a while.
I did appreciate the sapphic aspect to this book and highlights on women's issues. I honestly wasn't expecting to get that from this read.
It was an extremely slow-burn horror book though. If you're looking for a horror novel from start to finish, then this probably isn't what you're looking for. But even so, I think this book had a lot of great qualities even if it didn't immediately satisfy my desire for immediate horror.
