I was trying to read something spooky before Halloween so I picked up this old 2016 BEA ARC, and there were creepy elements to this one that I liked. But the ending completely ruined and cheapened the rest of the story for me. It also didn't make sense; I essentially wished I hadn't finished the book because I would have enjoyed it more if I had stopped halfway through.
Graphic: Body horror and Child abuse
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Eating disorder
