I think the reason for my scoring was not fully being able to understand what was happening while reading however after reading analysis after — i can understand the hype of this book. I loved Haunting of Hill House and found it to be so eerie and interesting - so i do enjoy Shirley Jackson’s writing style — i guess i just needed a littttleeeee more with this book but overall a story that will definitely stick in my brain to revisit and analyze over and over!
