Short read. Lots of fun. I suspected the twist about halfway but still enjoyed reading through it. I want more sapphic horror in my life. Perfect for a rainy night or Halloween time.

the part that rankled was the “hidden in plain sight” theme. it was incredibly heavy-handed to the point of being unrealistic. Ro “didn’t notice” enough red flags to decorate a six flags entrance “because Ash was a woman”. While there is something to be said for predator women not being viewed as such because of gender, Ro’s obliviousness was beyond the pale. The woman in question bludgeoned a raccoon TO DEATH in front of Ro, belittled Ro at every turn, and kept 1000 secrets. they fucked and she wouldn’t even tell Ro her last name?????? she kept her nail clippings?????
Ro spends whole paragraphs talking about how her last relationship made her “paranoid” and “insecure”but immediately agrees to meet a strange farmer at her house alone…? even with Ro having what sounds like a terrible childhood, and recently out of a bad relationship, there’s no way a woman living alone in the 21st century would be this nonchalant about her own safety. idk if the author was really trying to help the dense readers Get It or what but it was distractingly unrealistic. Ro questioning Ash’s motives or even taking more precautions before dating this mysterious woman would’ve made this feel much more real. Ro didn’t even ask around the farmers market about her, despite those people seeing her EVERY WEEK
And don’t get me started on Ro assuming that a sapphic relationship would be so much easier and superior to being with a man because ~girls get each other~. Obviously the author meant for this to come across as deeply reductive to the point of being sheltered, but the author also made Ro repeat the sentiment so many times that it felt robotic. we GET it, you think this weird bitch relationship will magically work out, despite all the evidence to the contrary, because of ~girl code~ or something. it was such a straight high school girl take that it felt foreign coming out of a 27 year olds mouth multiple times.
Idk like there’s oblivious final girl and then there’s this… characterizations left much to be desired. the cat in this had more sense than any character
Tldr: fun queer horror read if you can suspend your disbelief! thank you Annie 💜
