4.5

That was so goood. It felt like I was watching a traincrash in slow motion and I couldn't look away because of morbid curiousity and everything was just a bit strange and unusual. I finished it in a day. Fucking fun read. Not a 5 star because of the ending though. Just felt a bit too open for me. But oh my word I loved it. Very unhinged as well, the vibes were similar to nightbitch, but where nightbitch focuses on the disquiet this book just keeps it in your periphery so you feel it in the corner, but you can't see it or place your finger on why it is disquieting it just is. I loved it. Definitely going to reread it sometime
