This book is not good. Would not recommend. Unless you feel like reading about a traumatized girl get retraumatized by
her own fucking friends.
Bad writing- incredibly juvenile and cheesy; YA in a bad way. Characters are meh, they make stupid decisions and are unlikeable. Villains aren’t even given a reason for their malice and violence. Even the 2 “good” characters are immoral. Doing terrible shit to the people closest to you because of “rules”. Like just don’t. Not that hard. Heroine doesn’t even save herself,
rescued by a fucking boy.
Talk about overplayed horror tropes. Only reason this isn’t 1 star is bc the plot is admittedly intriguing. I angry finished this book.
