i did not like this book very much 🫣 a booktok type dude i follow for horror recs posted it so I checked it out, sometimes he recommends bangers other times not so much!

ok first of all this story is so crazy u really have to suspend reality like the story gets boring and then something crazy drops and ur like… how is this real….

i didn’t feel like any of the characters were real people they were all so cartoonish !!!
omg when sidney was revealed to be in on it i was like ok scream 🙄


the biggest thing that pissed me off is WHY leigh cared so much about the fucking tapes bro like ok so if they come out it just showed that buddy is a pedophile???? and that u killed him in self defense?
so much of this could have been avoided bro i guess yeah in high stress situations your judgement is clouded but every single decision these characters made was so stupid 😭 

also SO gory i’m not a huge body horror person and callie was talking about her abscess so much i was getting nauseous. 

and the covid aspect… i’m not in a place in my life where i want to read about covid. i know what it was like, girl! i was there! 

the messages regarding CSA and addiction bring the score up, and the writing overall was good plot was just ASS. in my opinion 🤭
