2.0

compelling - it kept me turning pages, and was genuinely creepy. I liked the idea of exploring medical trauma and family dynamics (especially mother/daughter dynamics) but the pacing felt weird and it was almost like none of characters were never really 100% consistent or right? I can't nail down exactly why this didn't work so well for me - the ending wasn't the big shocker it was hyped up to be, and I feel like there could have been a lot more done with the Suzette's fear of her own anger, Hanna's manipulation of Alex, and the general sense of unreality. everything just felt either too blatant or too subtle. just kinda eh, but I stuck with it to the end and did feel genuinely creeped out and tense reading it.
