I think people who enjoy old black and white Wednesday Addams might like this book... I certainly enjoyed the vibes well enough that I didn't DNF. I was intrigued to know where things would go. But I didn't truly connect with any of the characters or the plot and felt let down by the ending. 

It was odd and sorta vibes only.
