I really don’t want to be mean… but this was 7 pages long, I read it for free on kindle unlimited… and it somehow still wasted my time.

I was told this had an incredible plot twist… and I guess that’s true. If you’re under the age of 12 -.-
To be clear, I didn’t see it coming but that doesn’t make it good.

✎﹏ BookTok led me here after I searched horror novella. Figured a 7 page book wouldn’t be too much emotional damage (seriously Brooke such a rookie mistake)…. andddd now my day has been ruined. I did not see that plot twist coming & now my heart hurts. If you’re a sensitive, emotional, Pisces like me, don’t read this. 🥲

Are you in the mood to get punched in the emotinal guts real quick? Yes? read this, it's only a handful of pages so you won't have to read too much to get your fix of emotional damage.

Shit. That was seven pages? Shit.

I’m just sitting here, in this tiny room, trying to find the words, but honestly, “shit” feels right.

My heart hurts. My conscience hurts.

It’s difficult to say much without spoiling anything, but what I can say is that this tiny story hit ME (emphasis on ME) harder than THAT entire full-length novel that explores the same theme in a different way.

Okay... The book isn't scary at all, but the plot twist made me give it a higher score. I didn't see THAT coming 🤯

Nope, I feel like I was tricked by Booktok, I’m not one to leave many negative reviews but don’t waste your time with this, I was fully going to record a video thinking I was going to read something mind blowing but I’m glad I didn’t

Eh…
ending was easily predictable …

This would be more of a shock & more influential for a younger audience. It does its’ job in the sense that art is supposed to make you uncomfortable. I’m sure it will make some people change their perspectives.

Man.... fuck this book!! It's not really graphic or over the top and it's very brief... like 7 pages brief but god damn is it sad!!! Who knew 7 pages could pack such a sad wallop to the heart! It was a beautifully written story. I went in completely blind after a friend said that it ruined her and I get it.

Definitely had the desired effect. Showing the perspective of the other side of this specific industry. Within 7 pages it was good, horrifically sad, and well written.

I saw a video on TikTok saying that this was a horror book that would disturb me. It was said that it had a crazy twist at the end, but I wasn’t really disturbed and the twist wasn’t crazy😂

I would never have thought in a million years that just 7 bloody pages...YES! Only 7 pages could kick me so hard in the guts and destroy me.

I'm sitting here writing this review with tears in my eyes feeling like an emotional wreck.

HOLY COW...MARY JUST WANTED TO LIVE!!! 😞🐄😢🐮

Idk if this book would be considered to add to my reading challenge because it’s only 7 pages long, but oh well?. lol

It’s kind of sad when you realize what’s really happening. 😭 I’m glad I was not snacking anything while reading this. lol

What can I say? TikTok did me dirty again. It was sold as a horror book that leaves you extremely disturbed. Oh yeah, and it’s seven pages long. I can say that I’ve read the book in one sitting (just a small joke here) and seriously, what can you say about a book that’s seven pages long. For me, I expected something different from a horror book. It’s depressing and the plot twist got me but even the short seven pages felt like a waste of time. That’s a story every school kid could write as an essay. I got it from Kindle unlimited but I’m really sorry for everyone who actually spent money on it.

7 pages but I absolutely loved it. Packed a punch and had an ending I did not see coming. I finished it and sat there silent just thinking “fuck”
