Clare and Alba have the beginnings of an AI horror movie playing out IRL right in front of them and somehow are NOT running for the hills.

Aww, first death of a first book character.

"Wow. That's—romantic?" I say. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of a child meeting her adult future husband naked in some lonely meadow.

Clare blushes. "I don't tell that story to many people, it squicks them out."

Lol, author self call out.

If Abby Lee Miller has one fan, she is the last person left on Earth alive.

When I was younger I wanted to be Nancy Drew when I grew up. Now that I'm older, I definitely still want to be Nancy Drew when I grow up.

"On the death of her mother six years before, she had taken over the entire management of the establishment."

Gaslighting and gatekeeping to stop your wife from becoming the girlboss she was meant to be.

Ira Levin really had his finger on the pulse of Disney the corporation as a breeding ground for evil.

Walter gaslighting his wife while also roundabout-ly telling the truth - "there are no chemicals" - is possibly the most terrifying exchange of this book

Me, going back in time to sensitivity read this: Okay, Ira, we've established that she's black. I think you can just start calling her 'the woman' now.

Oh, the member of the friend group who believes in astrology charts has arrived.

"I used to work at Disneyland."

Run, Joanne. He's evil.

Kate, I am updating your mental image from Nancy Grace to Gail Weathers, climatic Scream moment.

C'mon girl, when I said I hope the serial killer kills you I didn't mean it for real.

This is shaping up to be A LOT like this one episode of Rizzoli and Isles

Welcome to the public domain, 1930s Nancy Drew

This halfway reveal is so obviously telegraphed I have to roll my eyes at the protagonist not figuring it out sooner.

"Hail Satan."

Okay, yeah that's on me for assuming religious cult = Christian god

Awkward time to be reading about an island where bad things happen
