I loved everything about this book! King has made Holly an incredible character and surrounded her with incredible, smart friends who have their own personal growth alongside and with her. The plot of this book was great- I always love when he writes a horror book that doesn’t involve supernatural. It adds another level because these are the stories that it’s harder to say “that can’t actually happen.” He brings this all to life, and I think the inclusion of current events helped to make this more realistic. And it added some light comedic moments. Bravo. Time to go re-read everything with Holly Gibney in it,
