This was delightfully creepy and I definitely loved the vibe! The strong misogynistic themes (due to the time it's set in) were sometimes hard to swallow, but it added a lot of authenticity to the book.
Sadly it was a bit predictable and I figured out the "twist" very early on, but it didn't change my overall excitement about this book.
