This whole book felt so rushed. It felt like BAM, BAM, BAM, HERE! BOOM, BOOM, DONE!
The whole plot and the writing were so odd, they are hiding behind this "motto" of average people trying to uncover the meaning of human existence while simultaneously trying to make a horror book, set the scene and the tones right, along with making the characters profound and so on.
Overall, this book just tried to be so many things in 224 pages. Some parts spoke to me and others didn't. It felt like a hit or a miss.
