4.0

Reminds me of We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson - tense, eerie, learning about strangers through the narrator and discovering a town’s secret’s. I appreciated the change in perspective in narrator. Well written and flowed nicely. Depressing read though

3.0

Melancholic, haunting, gently heartbreaking. Truly sad. The story feels well-sized for its length and manages to fit a ton of emotion into just over 100 pages. The sense of inevitability through the whole thing makes it feel surreal. I especially admire how the author intertwines both characters voices throughout. 

It’s a strong, compelling little read. giving it 3/5, not really sure why, maybe I just wanted more for the characters. Maybe it was just too dark
