I might have been slightly too old for it, it would be perfect for a 14-16 year old, but I still wnjoyed it. It was a quick read, a little bit spooky.

blindfox7's review

I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre to begin with but thought because this was paranormal that I would enjoy it. It had some really interesting ideas and dealt with some very relevant issues and fears but was not ok reading about pedophiles.

Really sweet and tender coming of age story mixed with spooky and dark themes. Check TW but overall a satisfying YA novel that should resonate w/ a lot of people. Made me tear up at the end 🥲
