It’s about a family that believes in a sort of curse in which terrible things happen to them every year during the month of October. I love the concept and the daily exploration of what the accident season looked like was really fun. There’s lots of accidents like broken bones, bruises, and also severe tragedies such as the death of their father and uncle, bridges collapsing, almost drowning, etc.
What I loved the most is the premise. I wanted so badly to know why this family has such tragic Octobers. What I loved the least, was the execution. It didn't quite grip me the way I wanted it to. It doesn't have much of a steady plot and then the reveal at the end didn't satisfy me fully.
It’s super atmospheric and carries a very dark and magical mood throughout. The setting is very vivid and it paired well with the characters learning more about the past accident seasons and realizing that not everything is so cut and clear. There's more blurry lines than they think between an 'accident' or things that are just brushed under the rug as accidents because it's October. Even though I'm not much for spooky stories, I found this oddly entrancing.
