Jeetje mineetje wat een boek. Ik heb dit boek verslonden. Ik vond dit in het begin een vreemd boek, maar na het lezen van het einde valt alles op zijn plek. Wat een einde zeg, ik zag dit niet aankomen maar het is zo logisch. Alle details kloppen! De gedichten in het boek maken het in mijn mening af, het geeft een luguber tintje aan het boek. Ik heb hem gelezen in April, maar ik raad aan om hem rond Halloween te lezen, dan kom je helemaal in de spooky vibes. Ik ga zeker meer van deze auteur lezen en dit boek is op mijn toplijst komen te staan!

the tone of the writing does feel slightly immature/juvenile but that could be intentional to reflect the main character. i didn’t guess the twists at all so it did what i wanted it to do as a thriller! i love dysfunctional families and this definitely delivered but the characters felt pretty flat outside of that - i also didn’t care for the preachiness from nana but i can see how some would like it. the ending felt a little “unrealistic” in a way i wasn’t prepared for but i still really enjoyed it overall.

I really wasn’t expecting that tbh. I found the twist or whatever gutwrenching. For the middle portion of the book though I was really bored and I was just over Daisy I feel like she could have been a more likeable character but what do i know
