so ended up actually rly liking it even tho i didn’t like the narrator that much sometimes. maybe i just don’t like that it felt like she was talking to me does she use second person? I don’t remember but it feels like it does to me anyway. also it was actually creepy to me. like idk bugs r one thing but the children 😳 i was dying. also I kind of like… thought it felt weird that there’s like talk abt diversity in the book like sam feels very black lives matter to me but like are any of the characters not white? like maria but does she even really appear in the story? idk it just felt performative ig in that aspect. but i liked it overall
