I did quite like the book but I did get a little confused when it kept flipping back in forth between current day and the past. But that can totally be my fault as I listened to the audiobook of it lol

10 out of 10!! This book was so much better than the movie! Oh! And you have to listen with the audio book! This narrative for the audio will have you so caught up in the story that it will make it harder to put down. This book gave a wide range of emotions. It was like I was right there with the Malorie!

I really wish I didn’t watch the movie first, it would have been so much more creepy and interesting. I really enjoyed this and it did creep me out a little. It was enjoyable to see the differences from the book to the movie. I do have to say I liked the changes they made. In this I didn’t really like any of the characters to be honest and I’m not sure why mallory was like obsessed with Tom when they had like hardly any interaction.
