I don't typically gravitate towards books centered around children, so despite hearing plenty of glowing reviews, I had initially dismissed this one. However, I stumbled upon it at a used bookstore one day and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did because the writing drew me in immediately. From the very first page to the last, I was gripped with tension and unease. The author masterfully conveyed the emotions of the protagonist, making every moment feel real and intense. The ending was both satisfying and impactful, leaving me eager to explore more of the author's work.
