I really hated Aoyama and it was hard to enjoy reading when so much was living in his perspective. Ultimately I found it a bit boring until the last 10-15 pages and then it was very intense and icky. 🙃 I knew this was coming but it definitely still hit, making me gasp, shake my head in disbelief, and feel a bit nauseous.

This was so fun! My first experience with found footage in book form. I'm a big fan of found footage horror movies and cheesy ghost hunting shows so I had a blast with this. I loved the format and the characters. There were a few choices throughout that I didn't love and that did include the ending but still a solid 4 star read for me!
