3.25 / the ending felt a tad bit rushed but it made me tear up nonetheless, although the ending is the only part out of the entire book that made me feel some sort of emotion
maybe it's just be though, books about grief don't really affect me much, i'm not sure why because it's not like i can't relate in some sort of aspect, it's just not as hard hitting is all.
4.5 / this was my first grady hendrix novel and i'm DELIGHTED to say that it did not disappoint! although i read a review where someone said “It's very very very good, but falls just short of being great and I can't say exactly why.” and they put my thoughts into words. so not exactly a 5 star for me but i still loved it! it creeped me out & made me cry, isn't that somethin.
4.80 stars!! WOWW this book was literally so good and i wasn't even expecting it to be—to be completely honest i was sort of dreading it when i picked the title randomly from my tbr shelf, i think the cover has a lot to do with that HAHA! but yes towards the end of the reveal i was on edge so much i thought i start full on panicking, i loved the family drama and dynamics and at one point i didn't know what to believe! crazy work, this book. all in all i was debating on giving this book 5 stars but i think the ending was just a tad bit unsatisfactory for me, just enough to be close to a 5 but not quite. i would definitely recommend giving this one a read!
I really enjoyed this one! definitely more than i thought i would, for some reason i've been enjoyjng more of the subtle character driven books—baby teeth for example—and i'm surprised by that because i'm normally more interested in plot driven books! needless to say although there's not a lot of action or explosive things happening in this novel, it was really well written and somehow very enjoyable considering. i especially liked the book towards the end!
3.25–i'm conflicted.. this book was absolutely pointless but i still enjoyed it LMAOO, i feel like i should hate it but like???? there were some parts i liked! but also.. seriously.. what was this book even for. like be fr. honestly there was no substance but i can't give it less than a 3 so!! there's that. very atmospheric & hanna's pov's were very creepy. not mad about it.
