Loved the dark tense elements if this book and all the Botanical imagery. Loved Naomi as main character. The reveal of the horror/haunt felt to fantastical and unbelievable. The ending felt to happy ending. This is the reason I have it 3.5 stars. Wished it could have rated it higher.
Moderate: Blood, Body horror, Confinement, Death, Gaslighting, Incest, Rape, Sexual assault, and Vomit
Minor: Death of parent, Infidelity, Miscarriage, and Panic attacks/disorders
