Started off interesting enough but the back and forth time jumping + 4 pov swaps… not my favorite. The weirdness of the whole story really wasn’t weird and off putting enough for me, I feel like the author could have really dug deep and came back with something darker and more original on that front. The most interesting thing about the majority of the characters were their names, otherwise they just really fell flat (especially BB, oh my goddd). I think it was a cool concept that just ended kind of boring if I’m honest. Which is kinda wild for a mysterious creature feature meets magical realism.

incest because there is a jump scare

and it’s the fact that these are teen sisters that kissed square on the lips to the point of TEETH CLACKING against each other and no one even THINKS “huh, these gals are a bit odd” is actually the most insane part of this dry book.
