I was weary about reading this novel because I do not enjoy books about child abuse and judging by the reviews this has disturbing child content. However, this wasn't as creepy and disturbing as reviews promised I'm afraid. It's moreover a story of childhood friendships and stalking.

I very much enjoyed the endings of each chapter and was left “ooohing” and “ahhing” a few times. It took me reading 1/3 of the book to get into it. Not a bad read, but nowhere as creepy as promised or maybe I'm just immune as I don't find books scary but will never give up looking.

3.5 stars.
