I might be obsessed with this now. I didn’t fully like the end. It felt to me like a big mystery was solved and then immediately forgotten and not mentioned for the rest of the final chapter. and it was a very important plot point to me. but i guess the horse was already dead you don’t have to beat it. but yeah this was a fun read, scarier than I thought. definitely way more than I was anticipating. i cried listening on my way to work.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Body horror, Child death, Domestic abuse, Gore, and Murder
Minor: Rape
There is an insinuation of rape but I don’t believe it is explicitly stated and definitely not depicted in any way. In my eyes and from my own life experiences, this is a book about domestic abuse primarily, so be aware of that.
