This is Where We Talk Things Out by Caitlin Marceau
5.0
I’m legitimately happy for readers who feel this novella is too far-fetched. I’m sorry to those that get it all too well.
I’m going to be honest here; I wasn’t expecting a whole hell of a lot with this novella. Who can tell a fully formed, terrifying story in less than 100 pages? Caitlin Marceau can and did just that.
The tension in this book is incredibly palpable, especially if you have a proper understanding of people like Sylvie. There isn’t a whole ton of backstory, but it somehow feels like you might know these people. They could (and probably do) live next door.
This whole living in the Midwest thing helped with immersion, as it feels like the snow never stops sometimes.
There are trigger warnings, so do please make sure you know what you’re getting into. This could be triggering to some.
