Very intense, very unsettling and kept me guessing till the end. I had no idea the twist that was coming! I love that the author made me suspicious of every single character and their intentions towards the main character. 
Sometimes the journal entries were a bit long winded and could have been shorter. Too much unnecessary descriptions. 
The ending (the last page) was SO open ended I wanted to scream. Not fulfilling whatsoever.
