It was tough for me personally to get through as someone with a manipulive parent I've had to cut off but made it all the more scary for me.
That being said I saw myself in Miller and honestly can sympathize with just giving into a parent like Sylvie because it's "easier". Made the ending even more devastating for me!

After her father passes away, Miller and her estranged mother spend the weekend at a cabin to repair their relationship, however, Sylvie sees it as a fun getaway. Soon enough, Miller sees how toxic her mother really is.
At only 86 pages, Caitlin sure knows how to pack an emotional punch! I love how Caitlin explored the abusive mother daughter relationship and turned it into a gut wrenching psychological horror. I felt more and more tense the further I got into the story and feared for Miller's safety. The story is raw and the dialogue feels real. The atmosphere is unsettling, and that ending? Dark af!
I'm glad I started 2023 with this amazing novella. I highly recommend it!

This has nothing to do with the book or my rating but I added a new edition so that it had an imagine and the horror genre tag didn’t take for some reason and it really bothers me. I also forgot to add the LGBTQIA+ tag but I don’t want to cluck up the editions by adding more if it doesn’t work.
