Sometimes it feels good to finish a book you’ve had around for years even if you’re not too sure you actually enjoyed the book. I enjoyed….. parts….. but I’ll be honest even though the ending is shocking, I don’t think I like it. I don’t think I like the fact that *spoiler lmao* the kids were there the whole summer but just ghosts? Did she not talk to anyone about ‘oh me and Mirren are doing xyz’

And no one paused to say “you’re doing what sweetie?” Now them never coming around the others makes a whole lot of sense, but I still don’t think I like it. I don’t like the story being told from Cady’s battered recall of the situation and I didn’t like the characters enough that I’m heartbroken about the reveal. It’s sad, absolutely, but I don’t know, I just didn’t connect to it like I wanted

As I go into what I assume will be the last part of the book, a pre-final update. Yeah, I didn’t like this book…. like not 2 star bad, but definitely 3 star you can skip out on this one 😂 it’s just…… being told the story as Cady remembers it is kind of annoying and I feel like the truth just isn’t going to pay off. There’s way too many details that were left out, it’s just…… not doing it for me

I’m 50 pages in and I’m….. confused. We sometimes speak in metaphors and I can’t tell when we’re not? Lmao. Like she keeps talking about bleeding and I don’t know if she’s actually bleeding, like she hurts herself or it’s just a metaphor. And what is going on with her?? What happened in the water that night, why didn’t Gat call, and if nothing was wrong originally what’s with these bad migraines?
