to think i put off reading this so many times, and wasn’t going to read it at all. thank you universe for having me read this because my GOD was this stellar.
i cannot describe just how much of a good time i had with this.
  • the ambiguous references to disney????? SOLD. especially in that final scene with liz, i literally burst out laughing oh my god
  • the bus scene too??? holy shit??!?
  • the gore in this book in general!!!! oh my god was it spectacular. i think this is my favourite book in terms of how the gore was written because my god. it teeters the line between unrealistic and entertaining so well
  • maeve herself. insane. witty. somehow relatable. i love her.
  • gideon too. he is amazing, i love him, i want to be him, i want to be maeve with him. Yeah.
  • there was no plot to this book and i didn’t care. maeve captured my attention so well i didn’t care at one point i was just following her life. 
  • the writing. is so. good. oh my god.
  • the ending????? i started crying. i started crying at the ending because i loved this book so much holy shit
if you love horror, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD READ THIS. i don’t even think i have the words to describe why i adored this so much oh my GODDDDDDDD.
anyways, ill never be able to watch frozen with my niece again.
