This was definitely the most horror book I've read in the past year for sure.
I was drawn to it because Other Mommy sounded so in line to “Boo” my imaginary childhood friend. Apparently after my house burned down as a kid, I told my parents I met Boo in the woods and he would guard my bedroom door of the mobile home we were in as we rebuilt and he was burnt. I don't remember this at all, but kids can be scary right?! 😂
It definitely had all the creepy vibes and I enjoyed the child being the narrator. Though I think she was more 5/6 instead of 8. The maturity level wasn't there. The parents were pure chaos too but now that I'm 34 I realize if this was happening to me I would be too.
The ending was what brought the rating down. I just wanted more but it also wasn't the worst. Overall creepy vibes and definitely a different book. If you love Coraline but want an adult version, this would be it!
