the writing! is so good! idt it could ever be turned into a movie bc it just wouldn't make sense that way n it doesn't have that same poetic effect y’know? i might be overreacting n overanalyzing but sm symbolism in the character's thoughts n words n parallels is really well written, but very easy to read. 

the plot is so unexpected and i love the switches between the flashbacks and the memories. although i kinda wish it wasnt a
ghost story and it was just hallucinations instead,
  would hv made it alot better
