I struggled to get through the first 300 pages but couldn’t put the book down for the last 100 pages. 

Jade was intolerable most of the book, her paranoia and rambling was frustrating and hard to get through. I wish there was more focus on the plot and less on slasher movies as I don’t get 99% of the references and have no idea what she was referring to. The ending was way off in left field but was super entertaining for a horro reader. 

A lot of trigger warnings, if you can get through the beginning it’s worth the end.
