I remember this book being dark but it's somehow just a BIT darker than I remember while also being LESS dark? I probably still read it too young, though, whoops. The ending is more rushed than I recall, and bittersweet at best, but overall, still good. (Use of the word "Cancelled" in context is extremely funny in this, The Year Of Our Lord 2020.)

Audiobook note: I listened to the version narrated by Jeremy Davies. He does a great job and his voice very much fits the setting,. My one complaint is that they play the same eerie, dramatic music over the start AND end of the book and it super doesn't go with the ending. Still a good narration, though!
