OKAY never have I ever CRIED over a thriller, but this one proved that I can indeed have happy tears over a chilling story. I enjoyed the twists at the end and how the author decided where each character would end at. It's not a 5⭐️ for me because personally I don't love having every chapters take place in different time periods. I understand the need for flashbacks and stuff but the fact that it switched from present to 30yrs in the past EVERY OTHER chapter was too much for me. I enjoyed the storytelling and how things (at least for me) did not feel predictable. This feels like a fun summer spooky book, highly recommend.
