it was....okay. just okay. i thought the prose was beautiful, but even that was put off by how annoying of a character Elizah “I’m Not Like Other Girls” was. i think Spollen’s attempt to write with the voice of a teen girl was definitely a miss. the mood of the story was interesting enough, but the interactions with Nathaniel left much to be desired. i wouldn’t call this story “unique,” just very....”eehhh?” “different?” the slenderness of this book was initially attractive to me but i felt it would have been better if it was longer, if the story and characters were more fleshed out, of the spookiness was....spookier? in any case, Spollen does have a voice for the creeps and I hope she writes again to expand her creepiness. over all, an okay reread from a book i read in high school, but just like my first read through, this book is nothing spectacular or worth keeping.
