Read this book in two connecting flights on my way to England, it had me gripped. The mood is very specific, it's like it's all happening behind a windowpane and yet you can't look away as the story unfolds. None of the characters feel flat, even the ones that dont immediately have clear motives or stories. I liked that that the supicions built are all true, but that the truth is even more gory & complex than imagined.
Graphic: Body horror, Child death, and Death
Moderate: Blood, Death of parent, Mental illness, Gaslighting, Violence, Injury/Injury detail, Suicide, and Toxic relationship
