I was struggling through this during a reading slump, so I switched to the audio book version for the last 100ish pages. Emma Roberts did great with the audio, and she made the plot drive forward a bit more than I could muster. I wish there were more twists and turns. I saw one or two coming, but I did enjoy the mysterious narration and ominously dark setup for the story. I think I would’ve enjoyed this more if I wasn’t in such a slump. ALSO TWs !! I wish I had looked them up…don’t be like me.
