If you love a narrative with sarcasm and dry humor, then you will love thissss. But if you don't, you're probably going to find it really slow-paced. I love the narrative and the whole vibes of this book. It's like Dead Poets Society meets The Haunting of Bly Manor. But, I won't lie, I did not love part of the ending. It was like this massive info dump where a lot of the stuff just felt a bit random/irrelevant. Howeverrrrr, the very last chapter was sososo good, like literally the best possible ending for a horror story that haunts everyone that comes across the book's storyline. You'll know what I mean if you read it. I really want to read Mary Maclanes book now just to understand PBH's storyline better.
