Pretty good but kind of predictable in the sense that you could feel a twist coming/ that things weren't exactly as they seem.
A bit slow to start
Took me a bit to get used to the main character's Brooklyn accent in the audiobook.
A lot of uncomfortable sceneslike Nina berating Millie, also some like very mild body horror
wish we go a bit more into the psychology of the main antagonist, aside from them having been abused by their mother in the same way
