This book was like one of those really strange A24 movies. I’ve never been more freaked out by ladybugs.

This blended horror elements and humor elements SO well. What a little gem of a book! I can’t wait to read more from T. Kingfisher in the future

As always, amazing book by T. Kingfisher. Very creepy, and I loved how the underlying topics, around the backstory for the character being there and her relationship with her grandmother, being discussed in stark detail and sarcasm, but with a lot of love for the main character.
