Silly scary. Not the kind of horror that would keep you up at night. Good read for October.

Honestly feel like I need to have a little cry about this but I read it in public lol. Ending hits very very hard. Would love to see it produced sometime.

challenging dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced

3.5

The prologue almost broke me (it took days to get through it) not because of length but because I just could not hold on to what was being said. I skipped the epilogue for that reason (maybe I’ll reread it one day).

Book itself was good. Caused me to reflect quite a lot which I like.
