absolutely horrifying - i am not a reader who does well with thriller novels or anything but i just picked up this book bc the cover is beautiful and i had heard so much about it. a lot of the tw were handled pretty well and written well. i was scared almost the whole time i was reading it. the ending was a very satisfying one that gave me a lot of closure. didn’t like the main characters in the beginning but by 50-70% of the book in, i rly liked them
