I love horror books that make me laugh but also make me afraid to go to the bathroom at night. And horror books that deal with family trauma and generational trauma and childhood trauma. Guess what. This book does all of that.

I appreciate the nightmare aspect of this. The way in which the sister is used and tired of her brothers is so accurate. I didn't find Drew and Jamie to be very sympathetic characters, because they keep messing up Calla's life without any regard to what she has given up for them. However, as the story winds down, I do appreciate them more.
