I should have DNF’d this, but the final 1/4 of the book hooked me, and the audiobook narration was decent. Otherwise, what a major letdown.

Ummm, I'm not really sure what to say about this book...

The last 40 pages had me on the edge of my seat, but the overall ending left me feeling unsatisfied. I'm going to spoil the hell out of the ending, because I can't discuss how I feel without explaining some of the shenanigans that happened in this book.

- What the hell was that random sentence about Alicia imaging Jen crushing a rabbit under her bare feet?
- So, what Alicia's possession somehow passed on to Remy after her death? Was the entity already in their apartment or was this something that followed Alicia around?
- What the hell was going on with the whole Andrea subplot?! "I was just thinking with my clit", UMM EXCUSE ME MA'AM BUT THIS IS A WEDNY'S.
- Why did the author have to kill Jake 😭 and was the bird supposed to be a reference to something I didn't catch in the earlier part of the book?
- Jen's murder was surprisingly triggering. Like, the fact that she expressed genuine fear and still hugged comforted Remy was disturbing, especially when you juxtapose that scene with her eventual demise.
- WHY WAS EVERYONE IN THIS BOOK SO UNLIKABLE!?!?!

I'm going to give this novel a reluctant 3.5 out of 5 ⭐. I'm not mad that I picked it up, but this book absolutely did not need to be 300 pages.

This book is weird and the Ending was so bizarr. I mean this in a good way. It was like watching a tv show, reading this book.

This is a book for weird little freaks. I LOVED it. I recommend to anyone who fucked with the movie Sorry To Bother You. So weird, uncomfortable, and funny. I am dying to see this as a movie and/or graphic novel!!

I don't know what I was hoping for but this wasn't it, an hour in and I feel like I've barely moved from the start of the book. Might come back to it someday but I don't think trying it on hard copy would help.

possibly the weirdest book i have ever read. awful ppl doing awful things but you can’t stop reading it??? and ur kinda like ok yes make another questionable choice sure let’s see what happens! i laughed out loud reading this. i can see a lot of ppl being like “this is the dumbest shit what the hell” but EYE personally ate it UP. weird weird weird. horror-lite as in it’s definitely horror but it’s also like why am i giggling?? really easy direct prose (which adds to the horrifying-lite nature??) made it a super quick read. this IS a beach read!!!! oh to read this book for the first time on the beach!! it wasn’t me but i wish it was!! a commentary on parasocial relationships, self help books, toxic relationships, etc.
