4.0

i would recommend that almost nobody reads this book. maybe i am just a wimp when it comes to horror but i felt like this was so unnecessarily gross and stomach-churning. i do have to say the plot was so well thought out, the characters were very well-rounded, and the writing was incredible. that is why the rating is so high. please please check content warnings!!!!!!!
