So... I don't know what I just read. It started out really compelling, then in the final third just went off the rails. I really don't understand what just happened. I don't get it. After I finish writing this review, I'm going to look up an explanation for the ending.
Before the final act, it was good. The scary bits were super intense and played on my anxieties fears right away. Other than that, the book was really boring and was just people talking with nothing really going on. Then in the final act (a.k.a. the school) things just... stopped. Like, it stopped making sense. I really am confused as to what actually happened.
