this was a disturbing concept and the twists definietly added to that it was missing an oomph factor, and if it had that i would have LOVED this but it didn't. i still overall had a good time reading this book and the ending was shocking with the escalation of it all. the audiobook i will say is phenomenal and i highly recommend that format of consuming this story.
i can definitely see why this book is so popular this year and i think a lot of people will resonate or empathize with our main character's story heavily. i personally did not feel very emotionally impacted by this story and have other books that cover similar themes that impacted me more but i think this is a overall solid read.
i read this book so so fast and honestly this book is genius. the way it covers race is so brilliant but it's also approachable and easy to read. june was literally crazy and so unlikeable but in a very purposeful and realistic way. this is such an important read and i highly recommend everybody read it.
surprisingly i enjoyed a “haunted house” story! i loved the serial killer elements in this story and the complex parental relationships. the end also really really ate and the twist of it all had me gagged. it was so smart and clever. THE WRITING?! phenomenal. sarah gailey is just such a talented writer.
