I really enjoyed this book. I liked its somewhat spooky vibes and its mystery. I did find the ending a little lackluster. While it was somewhat satisfying, I feel like Olivia is still somewhat unfulfilled as a person. Her main longing, for a family and people who genuinely care about her, feels both met and unmet. She ends up with a few people, yes, but I wanted her to have more of a community. I don’t know exactly what I would have wanted instead, but it left me feeling a bit upset.
