Ok I had no idea what this book was about going into it and I’m so glad of that. I was really invested the whole way through. It’s sad and dark and interesting.

A creepy novella that reads as easily as a short story but there’s a lot to unpack here if you look close enough. Highly recommend checking out other readers’ theories post-read!

Immediate five stars. Reid is an auto buy author for me. 

This book was devastating, eerie, emotional and seriously thought provoking. I’ll be mulling this over for a while.
