This was my second Stephen King book, and at this point, I’m convinced I’m setting myself up for heartbreak everything I open a King book… 

I had a feeling this book wasn’t going to have a happy ending and as much as I wanted to be wrong, unfortunately I wasn’t. Despite this, I really enjoyed this book!

Charlie was honestly adorable, I loved her and the relationship between her and her dad was one of, if not the best aspect of this book. Reading about all they went through because of The Shop just made you hope for them to escape and live a happy life even more. Unfortunately, this is Stephen King, so I’m sure you can guess how that went…
