Kept waiting for something, ANYTHING, to happen. This was pitched/marketed as though it was a thriller, and it most certainly is not. Yet, I don't think that going into it with different expectations would have made me like the book more. I just think I would have DNFd it rather than powering through hoping for some sort of twist or exciting plot point. 
I hated the descriptions, they were absolutely disgusting at times and not in a fun horror way. Just gross.
I wish I hadn't wasted my time.
