This was alright. It was not scary, more comedic with a mystery...If you want to read this for a scare, don't. There's definitely metaphors throughout the book, but I won't mention them to avoid spoilers. Also, I felt like it was super repetitive, even during the wild ending. The repeating of a certain phrase approximately 10,000 times was exhausting. Didn't really care about the main character and the daughter was pretty obnoxious and annoying.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Child death, and Domestic abuse
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Body horror, and Dementia
