the writing was beautiful, i loved the two main characters relationship but the timeline pacing felt off & unrealistic - it ruined the immersion for me, therefore making the story less unsettling + creepy as it could've been. the blur between realistic fiction and magical realism was sometimes very confusing and could make the narrative hard to follow, other than that, i enjoyed the story. not a bad book!
lowell's character confused me though, his random 'arc' of sorts felt unnecessary and the re-introduction of him was obviously just for an extra obstacle/ scare factor in the plot,, felt like more could've been done with him though.
