Local delulu woman is haunted by her husband’s dead wife
Featuring: The most toxic main cast you’ll ever meet
Interesting read, main thing for me was how slowww some of the early parts felt. Also I thought the portrayals of the MC’s paranoia/fantasizing was very interesting but it also made me want to DNF because I was getting so annoyed with her
All that aside, the text in this is RICH and the prose is so incredibly vivid and well constructed. The characters themselves are also so interesting and I feel like I could literally write essays on them lol
Also the main character not having a name is a GENIUS LITERARY DEVICE IN THIS CONTEXT and I’m obsessed with that. Iconic author behavior
