This is a good book to channel all of my depression into. It picked up in the second half and I found myself reacting out loud which is rare. It feels nice to feel something because of a book and not life.

I’m not usually a fan of long exposition, but it works well for this story. I’m enjoying getting to know all of the characters and I find the jump in perspectives on an hour by hour basis super cool. It’s definitely creepy but I wasn’t scared while I was reading the book UNTIL I went to sleep. I woke up with nightmares about this book and I’m not even in the main conflict yet 😀
