4 stars? Maybe? I've been reading books lately that left me thinking weird thoughts like, "Did I like that book I just read? Or really not?" Did I like this because omg creepy? Or not because some parts of it left me cold, like I thought it was a false suspense that it was clear the author was trying to make it a surprise that both kids weren't hers. Or that she idealized Tom as some great person, but I just felt nothing there. The Gary reveal felt false, also. I don't know. The whole premise, it was so creepy, the journey out with her kids, omg, so so scary. It was that almost all of the characters that felt like cardboard cutouts of characters. I don't know why I'm so irritated. I drank too much caffeine yesterday and stayed up until 4 finishing this, so obviously it wasn't that bad. So. 4 stars it is.
