304 delightful pages of a woman’s unraveling. the pace was slow and a sometimes felt deeply confusing, but i think that was intended. i wanted more about the son, Jonathan. sometimes it felt overly confusing and fever-dream like with not enough reality check-ins to have the reader feel cared for. very uncertain of time period? i find myself with so many questions about her mental health, and childhood experiences. it just felt like there were some holes. but the writing style worked for me - haunting and detail rich. can definitely see it working well as a streaming service original series

A mix of Shirley Jackson, Otessa Moshfegh and Patricia Highsmith -- high on ambiance but frustratingly vague on other details. A character study in paranoia? I was so excited for what could have happened but the last 25% just pffft'd flat. Puzzled by the given name reveal and if it's supposed to be significant...

I would watch the EVERLOVING daylights out of a TV or stage adaptation. As is, it just felt like the wrong medium for the story - predictable and a bit grating. But as a televised series or ‘Woman in Black’ stage show, I think it could be fantastic!

I didn’t enjoy this, but I don’t think enjoyment was the author’s intention in writing it. A deeply unpleasant book that perhaps isn’t as clever as it wants to be.
