3.5
man this is a hard one to rate so i might change it eventually. i loved so many things about this one: leah's chapters, the relationship between leah and miri, the atmosphere, the writting; but then there were so many boring chapters that made the book feel like it's 400pgs long. i love everything sea/ocean themed, especially in horror, thats why i think im willing to rate this higher than i should (and also bc its a lesbian horror novela and thats my fav subgenre of books). also this reminded me so much of the game called “iron lung” and the movie “the shape of water”
this book was such a slog. i dnfed it like 4 times before bc i just couldn't get into the story and writing but everyone gives it 5 stars and raves about the ending. i should've just let it go coz it was not worth it in my opinion. the first and last chapter were good, the rest was awful and felt like it was 500 pages long. i would love it if the first chapter was just a short story tbh

this makes me so sad. thought i would love this book but it put me into a huge slump and took me way too long to read. i love the characters and all the funny stuff between the friends and delilah but the romance just did not hit me like it should. i found myself not caring abt anything after the 50% mark, nothing really happend and it was a bit boring :/

this was fine, loved it at the beginning but the cat and mouse part dragged for me. it was fine at first but then idk i just stoped caring and i felt like there was no pay off or satisfaction at the end. almost no plot twist and the ones dat happend i didnt really care for. it wasnt anything bad, pretty quick to read but just fine.
i'm finally freed from this boring book. on paper i should love it coz i loved normal people but I didnt care abt anything or anyone, nothing happend in this and everyone was annoying. gave it 2 stars just bc it had alot of sentences and thoughts I annotated and found relateable but it still wasnt enough to save this book.
3.5
read that in one day, a solid book. theres alot of stuff that bothered me abt this one but at the same time it was very fast and entertaining to read. i didnt really connect to the characters as much as i would like to so all the stuff that happend didnt make an impact on me. loved the plot twist doe, didnt see it coming.
rating this 3.75 stars but im gonna be generous and round up
its a solid start to a series but idk why i just didnt connect to it. i love the characters but i didnt really care abt anything until the last 200pgs maybe. still a great book and i wouldnt rate it any lower coz its more of a me problem tgan the book and im excited to continue the series coz i know it gets better
