In the second/third act of the book (I’m not sure) I was so absorbed. Once things all start coming together you can’t pull yourself away from it.

You may not expect it but there is some pretty intense horror and body horror if you’re super weak stomached

This is a moody, atmospheric, story of sisterhood, family, and loss. It's definitely a horror story. I wasn't scared reading it, because as a reader I have distance from the events, but I could believe that it was scary for the characters to experience. As a reader, there was more of a sense of sadness and mystery. There are a couple of moments of gore, but I didn't feel that it went excessively for the gross-out.

I’m just going to be sitting here thinking about this book and its use of symbolism and language for the next 10-14 business days
