The first half you know something creepy is going on but can’t pinpoint what. The second half had lots of twists and turns and many gasps! The drawings throughout definitely add to the creepy nature. I couldn’t put this down and would definitely recommend!!

It was really good and with a twist that I didn't even see coming!! But I can say that it was a really cool touch that actual drawings were included.

Man. Fuck this book. And you know what, I kinda liked the beginning!! Like it had flaws but I assumed they’d be resolved or vilified as it went on (it didn’t). But then we got hit with the twists and reveals and they STINK!!! BOO!! 🍅🍅🍅 

What the fuck was UP with

• The immediate disregard of neighbor lady’s racism
• The Lawn Boy thing. Why is she calling that man that?? Racism.
• ANTI METOO MOVEMENT?????
• The weird book about teaching children their bodies but it covers anal sex and cunnilingus???
• The religious shit
• oh of course they’re forcing a child to be transgender. of course
• PRO JK ROWLING?? twice in one book after 2018? Actually, yeah that fucking tracks for this book

This book really is some right wing propaganda. Like it was not slick with it at all.

I guessed the twist from the beginning, but it was still a really unique story. I loved the inclusion of the drawings! Especially the super creepy ones in the beginning. A nice change up from what I usually read.
