I wanted it to be more about sisters but it's kind of a flat hetero love story w a haunted house. Too many gross rape/SA scenes imo

i wasn’t expecting to devour this so quickly. I had a feeling it wld be great, but normally it takes more time to digest “serious”/historical books. this story is just so gripping, esp once the
hallucinations kick in, dreams and reality blend together, and you try to figure out wth is going on

all the respect in the world to Moreno-Garcia for writing a good, whole story in 300 pages.

I put off reading this despite everyone raving about it because I’m stubborn and now I’m ANGRY WITH MYSELF, because there’s a reason this book is so popular!

I have nothing bad to say about it. This was a decadent sort of unsettling that had me guessing right up to the very end. I had such a blast reading it.
