This wasn't much like what I expected so I was a bit disappointed, and I also felt like the pacing and plot structure could have been better, but other than those things, this book is alright.
Don't go into this thinking it's gonna be scary or very plot driven, it's more of a reflective character driven story.

A story with slim to none action but still eerie in a way you don't expect.

I came for the creepy Stranger Things Vibes, but this book really didn't give what it needed to be gave.
This novel is more of a coming of age set in a small town. The themes of memory being malleable and prone to change depending on the person was an interesting idea to explore and it fit well with how Jake began to grow up. This was a quick read and I really enjoyed the ghost stories that Calvin told, whch link to his own trauma.
I will have to deduct a few stars because I was hoping that it was scarier and more thriller, but overall I was satisfied with this.
I definitely recommend it if you want summer-ween vibes.
3.25 / 5
