“The scar inside me kept me alert. The worry kept me moving. The fear kept me alive.”
First of all, can we talk about fun this retro cover is?! 😍
I was sold on this book by the cover alone, but damn it was wonderfully macabre.
It’s relatively short, clocking in at 122 pages, but it’s jam-packed with blood, teenage angst and twisted emotions.
I don’t want to give too much away as this story is best explored with a cosy blanket and hot drink; all I will say is that maybe that creepy neighbour living at the end of the road has more going on than you might think!
