I was super excited to dive into this book. Dark retelling. Group therapy. But…it all just felt flat. I didn’t feel like I got enough of each character to invest in them. I feel like a story or two could have honestly been left out with how little it impacted the plot. A neat concept with poor execution.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Toxic relationship, and Blood
