This was okay but, it just didn't hit me hard in the feels like <i>Were Are Okay</i> did. I still think about that one a lot. The best way to describe this is trauma focused head space of girl aging out of the foster care system and going to a haunted house to face her past ghosts.

Nina LaCour captures loneliness and trauma in a unique yet imo accurate & relatable way. I‘m saying this as someone who - just like with Hold Still - doesn’t actually relate to the trauma the mc has experienced (fortunately), which could either mean that it has to be exceptionally well done in order for me to feel that way or that I simply don’t know what I‘m talking about, that’s for other people to decide.

I did find the flashback scenes quite disturbing/unsettling but I know they were meant to, I know that’s the point of them.

I really liked the storyline with Lee

Utterly devastating. I wasn’t expecting the heaviness or the ghosts so I didn’t properly prepare myself for this story. It’s really dark and I suppose the end was a relief but I’m still feeling shook from the emotion. I’m not sure how to rate it; perhaps I’ll come back and Polish this review when I have more time to process.
