Wow I love a good haunted house

I’m not much of a slow burn person, but I can’t even call this a slow burn. We just have the advantage of being the reader while the narrator is so busy being mildly pleasant and way too responsible in a world that doesn’t alway women to be anything else to notice what is literally happening in her face.

I am shaking with so much rage at this so-called father, I should be a dragon

Hmmm I don’t know so far. Is this about cheaters? I don’t want to read about cheaters

I wish I wasn’t working cause I just want to keep reading this!

Well, I definitely want to know what is going on!

I went to high school in a very small town in the deep south. Not large enough to have a mayor, but I still recognize a lot of the characters in this book. So far I love it.

Wren, gal, it’s only been 2 months and you’re back at work???? Seriously, it does make sense because people want to feel normal but she works with dead bodies!

Of course I’m not going to look up the answers to these, and I don’t really want to know, but I keep wondering if this woman is having a nervous breakdown. Because how can someone who keeps saying how happy she is seem so dang miserable?

I’m getting stressed! Less than 20% of the book left and I need everything to be resolved and I need it to all go well!!! This is such a good book

Am I going to find out what werkblight is????!!!

Crickey

Yes, this is a book about a girl who somehow comes back from the dead, but I sure did not see that little twist coming. It made me cry.

There are a LOT of points of view. A LOT. I know it’s a way of writing, a technique. But I just want the whole story NOW

I do not like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I can see that they’re related Ish, but they are distracting, and I have found myself skipping them. Otherwise, this is a great book.

Bruh. The FBI is literally on guard outside your door, but you don’t tell them? Our main character sneaks out again? After everything that just happened???

Hmm. Well, I’m glad I got this from the used bookstore. I got it because I liked the TV show. I wasn’t expecting a Pulitzer Prize winning novel or super spice, but… I don’t know how I feel about this.

The human to human interactions in this book have me thinking ‘this is ridiculous and unbelievable. No one acts like this.’ But the animal interactions have me concerned

This Bacardi has me anxious. As someone who listens to nonstop, continual true crime, podcasts, I feel like this is some kind of warning letter for people to really be careful about what they’re getting into.

This book honestly has me so teary eyed

Already teary eyed. Wow

It just makes my heart ache that she’s gone

So far I have no idea what’s going on, but I am enjoying it.
