Wow.. I've read this book before around when I was 13-15, so over ten years ago. I could only remember the dark atmosphere.
This started pretty light, and I was maybe a bit dissapointed, but around 50 pages I was really invested.
The themes around death hit a bit too close to my current personal life, so needless to say I felt quite a lot of anxiety towards the climax.
I'm really glad I re-read this as a 26-year old.
