Once I decide to add a book to my TBR, I download it on my Kindle. Then when I need a new book, I just pick one that’s already downloaded without looking up the description again. This did not help my case with this book.
At first, I thought it was a cute romantic novel, then when they get to the school, maybe true crime? Then slowly but surely, it changed. I didn’t notice it at first, but I was hyper aware that I was flinching at every fly, a slight breeze moving the trees scared me, and when the neighbors cat jumped over the fence, my blood felt cold and my heart didn’t stop racing for a few minutes. And that’s when I realized it MUST be a horror book.
I clung on to every word, scared to skip ahead even the tiniest bit. And I still have no idea what happened. Not just in the book either. I was shellshocked for a bit, and then when I got up to go inside and refresh, all of a sudden nothing felt real. I was questioning my whole day; what time was it? Nothing felt okay until a few hours later when someone else came home and I could have a conversation with them.
Our minds are a terrible place - and they’re even worse when you’re alone.
I don’t ever want to read this book again. But I think I have to.

Based on my own anxiety disorder and dissociative episodes, this entire book felt like one long anxiety attack. It felt like I was dissociating. Nothing felt right. Everything was off, slightly to the right, slightly to the left. Putting my finger on specific parts that made me feel that way didn't help me express why it did. Like a dissociative experience, explaining it to people who haven't dissociated (or, in this case, haven't read the book) would be confusing.
This is not a book if you aren't interested in self-reflection, philosophy, or a semi-slow pace. The offness of everything might help keep your attention, and there are several key events in the book, but it's not particularly fast either. You need to be patient and attentive for the story to settle in. Even then, you might want to reread it. I'll definitely be going back to analyze passages, maybe entire chapters, to see what I missed and how everything built up upon each other.
