This was sooo entertaining!!! Love psychological horror(?) mysteries and this one really made me theorize and think. I read this with a book club so the discussions definitely made the book better, we got to theorize a lot. One thing that I found really lazy though is that the author introduced some plot points and important background information in a very uncreative way... idk I just didn't like that some information was just told to us instead of shown to us if that makes sense. I also did not like the ending that much, it was very unsatisfying which could have been the point, but I did not enjoy that
