It felt too monotone for me, I couldn't seem to get ahold of the plot in a way that made me care about continuing.

I finished this book several days ago and have been trying to come up with a non-spoiler-y review ever since.
Mysterious events are happening all around David, but nobody will tell him exactly what is going on. Told from the perspective of David as a child into his young adult years as he tries to solve the mysteries on his own, the reader also is kept in the dark as to what is really happening.
To review without giving any spoilers, I really liked this one; It was wonderfully weird and confusing and creepy. It was like reading the fever dream until everything made sense (but it still didn't quite make all of the sense).
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of Mothtown by Caroline Hardaker in exchange for my honest review.

Mothtown
by Caroline Hardaker
THOUGHTS:
I want to thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for giving me the opportunity to read an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
This book was a little hard for me to rate. I gave it a 4 and I really really wanted to give it a 5. Here’s why I struggled with the rating. I struggled because I couldn’t figure out what I had just read. It took me a little bit to read and to get into and I had to ease into it. This book is odd and bizarre you guys BUT—I loved the oddness of the book and the bizarreness of this book. You absolutely need to pay attention to what is going on and follow along carefully. The ending was such a surprise that I did NOT see coming. I enjoy endings I never see coming. Honestly the authors writing is beautiful and the descriptiveness through the book was on point. I have actually already recommended this book to my particular friends whom I feel would love this book so much. I cannot wait to see how everybody else receives this book. Overall wonderful!!
