The worst book I've read of the year so far. I picked this one up before it got loads of hype on TikTok, but I should have taken that as my first red flag. The premise for this one was very interesting, albeit a little gimmicky. It reminded me of The Turn of the Key, which was a good thing, and I liked the atmosphere. Seriously, for 75-80% of the book this was a four star read. And then it went entirely off the rails. Never have I seen a book botch an ending so badly.

I felt like it was nonstop reveal after twist after reveal and character development was totally discarded for the sake of surprise. My husband laughed as I recounted the ending to him. I see reviews on here that praise it for having an ending that they didn't see coming; like, no shit? Nothing in the plot was leading up to this and everything came out of left field in the worst way possible. 

The writing was juvenile and (pet peeve) I really hate when authors use exclamation points in their narration. Anyways, this book was ultimately a massive waste of time, but I read it in under 24 hours so I don't really care. If you pick this one up, just stop reading at 80% and use your imagination. Whatever you come up with will be better than what's actually written.
