4.5

I don't know what people were talking about when they said this book was 'just fine' because I thought this book was great! Perhaps it helps to realign your expectations - don't go in thinking this is going to be a thriller or about serial killing - most of the killing happens off the page. It's more about family dynamics and is oddly satirical. The short chapters really help you read it fast and I really liked what the book had to say and how it was said.

It was alright - went a little darker than I thought it would. Overall though, felt like it had something missing. Good writing though.

a more detailed review will come soon enough i hope.

the characters were adorable and just warmed my heart but the plot I found lacking. if you are to read the book, check out the audiobook whose narrator was EXCEPTIONAL.
