4.5
The characterisation is written into the story and the author does a good job of maintaining unease throughout the story even after the climax.
I felt a lot of things throughout the book, like unhappiness etc but I was never mad about it, everything seemed to have a purpose.
Rosemary as a character was super annoying but her passiveness was something that made the novel feel more interesting because you get to see how easily she gives up on her resolve in favour of her idealistic desires of family/life/her future.
Overall, I really enjoyed this read (despite everything) and it was quite horrifying.
