 “One could construct a hundred different narratives, it didn’t make them true.”

At first, I was a little bored by this book but by the end, the gothic vibes were definitely there by the end. Normally, I enjoy gothic literature, so I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I was in the mood for it.

I have been seeing recommendations for this book for a while and it did not disappoint. Moreno-Garcia was able to write a beautiful and haunting gothic novel that is on par with a Brontë novel (I personally like it more).

This is going to be one of my favorite gothic novels. P

Spooky but not super scary
Apart from the scene in the graveyard where she thought she saw something move

This was for book club and I probably wouldn’t have finished it otherwise. It was good but I just wasn’t in the right mood for it and it was a bit too creepy for me.
