i love unlikeable main characters. it makes the read more unique and interesting. i was hoping for something different than what i got, i had a really good plot idea in my head. it’s a really weird take on parasocial relationships, but i liked it. the horror aspect was confusing and didn’t make sense. the ending was fine, i was happy it was over quick.

would of given it 5 stars if the the monster was a manifestation of alicia and remy’s shared obsession with jen, rather than just a random monster who has targeted people before. would have been more impactful idk. i’m tired i need to sleep
