The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco

Read Harder 2020: Read a retelling of a classic of the canon, fairytale, or myth by an author of color

I wanted this to be scarier. The narrator has a very aloof voice, which makes sense for the character (an ancient ghost) but it's hard to feel very invested in any of the characters. I kept thinking "this would be pretty spooky if it were a movie."
