most anticipated book of the year for me and it… was just okay. knew i shouldn't have fallen for the "mexican gothic x rebecca" marketing but I'm a simple girl who loves gothic stories. mexican gothic works because it takes a normal story and makes it Weird™ this book unfortunately does not :/ Nothing about the setting, characters, plot was particularly intriguing it just felt bland to me. I think the fact that I read this on dark, rainy days helped the mood more than the writing.
