This is the author’s first adult fiction book and it shows. Characters so flat they were practically 2D, unbelievable amount of “tell, don’t show.” She stated the obvious so much I almost felt insulted. Like, of course I figured that out. The ending wasn’t satisfying at all -
her baby is just a normal baby! Psych!
like ok? We really took 400 pages to build up to that? Very disappointing. Pregnancy horror is a niche genre that I love and this was terrible. I see a lot of reviews that say the AHS season “didn’t do the book justice” which must mean it’s god awful.
