I thought I would be the only one who couldn’t get into this but reading through the reviews, others have had issues with the pacing and plot as well.

I was interested in this story up until Vern and her boys left the forest. The plot from the beginning was difficult for me to follow and then with the wonky pacing I lost total interest unfortunately. 

I think this book talks about some incredible (and dark, def look up content warnings) topics and it was set up well. I’m really sad I didn't like this more. I read The Deep earlier last year and loved it. I was hoping this would be similar but this goes to show that just because you love one book by an author doesn’t mean you will like everything they write. 

This book reminded me alot of Sundial by Catriona Ward and a bit of Ring Shout. Two books I unfortunately didn’t like either but if you did, you’ll probably love this! This could also just be a book that’s read better physically. I listened to this exclusively on audio and wonder if I would have liked it more if I had done in tandem

I’ve got my eyes next on Model Home 👀👀
