This book was not what I was expecting and I loved it. People are focusing a lot on the five human characters but are neglecting the sixth, and arguably most important character, the house itself. This book is about consumption, and the house's attempt to fill an insatiable hunger. The dynamic within the dysfunctional friend group is interesting, but It's not the point of the story. Whether or not you like these characters as people, it's their interactions with one another and the house, that create a wonderful tension. There are also themes of love, shame, obsession, stereotypical horror tropes, and a contemplations on toxic masculinity. While this book is not for everyone, it's worth giving a try.
