Nope. Weird fever dream pandemic novel.

This was my first Zoje Stage book and I think I will read from her again. I was really invested in the first half of this book like fully immersed. I enjoyed the flashbacks we got of Grace's childhood and seeing her relationship with her mom and sister. But after the halfway mark the book dragged for me. I found myself getting bored and I didn't care about what was happening. The ending was good but nothing spectacular to me. I was a little bit let down be the twist, I wanted something more interesting. I did enjoy the epilogue at the end which is something I don't see a lot in mystery/thrillers. Overall it was a fine read nothing amazing.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review!

This one was a weird one for me. I thought the premise was wonderfully terrifying and I was super excited to start.

It fell a little flat for me. I was hoping for a bit more than I got. The writing was good, that wasn't the problem, it was the main character, She just didn't connect to her and that made me feel a little detached from the book.

I think it was likely just me with this book so please, give it a shot if this is the kind of book you enjoy

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This started promising and had an enjoyable main character. The story went on for a bit longer than I thought necessary and there were no real answers to the questions.

I got misery (Stephen King) vibes to begin with and maybe I self consciously put it on that pedestal. I would have liked more from the story as it felt as though there was something missing throughout.
