I really enjoyed Cassandra's style of writing overall, aside the seemingly constant barrage of f-bombs from the characters. I honestly disliked all the characters except Lin; he was the least chaotic and the most sensible of everyone involved. I don't want to give away spoilers here, but basically the plot is 90% of the characters bickering and fighting amongst themselves. Lots of hemming and hawing over what they will or won't do. 8% of the book is cringe relationship drama and physical descriptions of Phillip (I'm still wondering, why?). 2% of the book mentions the ghost(s) and their menacing presence. In the end, it was quite the mess, but surprisingly Khaw wrapped it up very neatly (rather rushed if I might add).
