The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco

3.0

I’m right in the middle with this one, I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it either. Some parts were incredibly interesting and at times I was thoroughly enjoying this novel and convinced it would be a five star read because there’s nothing I enjoy more than a good YA horror story! Especially one featuring the same kind of vibes as The Grudge or The Ring. This one had some original and unique ideas that I really did enjoy but then two elements in particular threw me off the story. The characters are just so insufferable at times that I wanted to rip my eyeballs. They were seriously next level annoying and had no redeeming factors whatsoever. And then the goddamn counting and numbers everywhere was so aggravating, I wanted to throw the book away every time it happened which was A LOT. So while the story was great and the idea was unique, the characters and that damn counting prevented it from being as good as it could have been.
