I really did enjoy this story. I was sceptical at first of the writing but then it grew on me. I would have loved a bit more horror elements but I am aware that this is for a YA audience.
And I do think there was some pacing issue, both story and relationship wise. I think this book would have been better if it lasted over a period of a couple of months instead of a few days.
Still amazing and highly recommend!
