Dear Laura

i lovedddddd the idea but the execution was just kinda meh

Yeah id go fucking crazy too if I was being stalked fuck that

I'm a little conflicted about this one, if I had read the blurb before reading it I might have realized that I wasn't exactly the right audience but I saw a messed up tooth on the cover and yeah I can't resist that stuff.

The part where Laura was a teenager seemed a little messy and repetitive and I'm not sure if it was done intentionally to convey the immaturity of the character or if it needed another round of edits.

On the plus side it was a quick read.

this is penpal but without the atmosphere, mystery and just not as good

Reminded me a bit of Penpal but where it was bold it lacked in other areas. The ending annoyed me and she didn't deserve to go where she went. I wasn't wowed but I wasn't really disappointed either.

The book was good, but missing something I can't quite put my finger on. It may be that every chapter felt like a deja vu of the last with a threatening letter and Laura spiraling into paranoia - rinse and repeat. The only part changing was the time passing from when they were kids to Laura being an adult. I do think the character of Laura had some depth, but the story did not for me.

many ways this could of been improved like the length of the book. Waaaaay too short so the info felt crammed in and it wasn't enough time to get to know these characters.

I was really vining with this whole book but the end didn't do anything interesting with this kind of story. I don't really know what the point of this story was.

A pretty good and well written horror short. The short chapters make you want to keep reading despite there being no real mystery. The story is very straight forward 3 chapters in you think “ah, this is what happened” and well, you're probably right about it. It's really creepy and manages to build up tension despite the long timeframe its set in and you knowing the ending. While it wasn't long enough for me to say it's a character study the main characters rationales for her decisions were the most interesting part for me.

there was a very short moment – the split second between when Laure finds bobbys skulls which has horns and realizing it's a deer skull after all – where I thought the book was going to go a whole different direction and I'm a bit disappointed it didn't. This isn't really the books fault I simply prefer supernatural horror to the mundane.
