I really liked the parts focused on how white colonialism is the worst and the world is still full of racist POS, would have loved more mother/daughter quality time.
And I get that Jade is an angry teen but she wronged and hurt everyone that loved her, it wasn't the best choice as a narrator IMO.

This very complex human character serves to anchor a story that can otherwise feel a bit like a fever dream.
If you're not a big horror reader, make sure to check the content warnings to decide if this is a good book for dipping your toes into the genre!

In addition to general spooky ghost vibes, a lot of the horror in this book revolves around food and insects. Some of the reaction to food horror could read similar to disordered eating. Keep this in mind if you have a special ick around food or bugs, or if you are concerned about ED.ellaandcoffee's review
