did not like it
bookshelves: september-2024-reads

This was so terribly lacking. The first 30% had me hooked but the multiple POVs plus the fact that there was nothing really happening till the last 15% of the book only served to make me bored. It didn't deliver on the horror aspect but I can appreciate the prose and the messages woven into it.

Kristine I am right there with you… I don’t even think I understood what the deeper meaning was. I’m assuming it was something to do with feminism and female agency. It was just too abstruse for me. I don’t necessarily need to be spoonfed a message, but this just had no meaning at all for me. I wanted to like it, just couldn’t.
