3.75
More of a 3.75 to me but I still enjoyed this book a lot. For people looking for a cult story this is for you. Warnings for SA and pregnancy horror though because it is heavy in that.
Predictable I'd say but not in the worst way, almost a sad and pitying way. The main character being blinded by so much.
Not fir everyone but a good horror read
