i said it before and i'll say it again, idgaf about your swim meet.

omfg. finally!!!!!! i finished this. this was just not for me. i didn't feel connected to the story or the characters. the “plot”, if you can call it that, was so bland. maybe it's just the high school drama/sporting life problems the main character was going through that i just couldn't relate to, but i literally was so bored and could not care less about what was going on. the writing was fine but nothing super unique about the narrative or tone that stood out to me. so yep, it's a 2 from me.

I read this on Libby, and the first 50 pages or so were phenomenal. I have never read something so beautiful and I found myself highlighting so much (which I never do) and just crying. I thought for sure this would be a 5 star and a new all time favorite. It got a little repetitive and I did not like Kathy's perspective. The build up was so good, but I think to call this a horror is super mismarketed.

I actually kind of enjoyed the writing at first and though it's kind of dramatic (or maybe really dramatic) but it gave this big impact, but when it's repeated so frequently, it becomes tiring. Also Ren ghosting Cathy and Cathy's letters were the opposite of enjoyment. Ren's narrator made it kind of interesting to listen to but.. I am over it lol also the synopsis talks about blood but menstrual blood and all that was not what I was expecting. TMI
