This is Where We Talk Things Out by Caitlin Marceau
fast-paced
3.5
I feel like this could have been longer. The author built up the suspense well but I feel like it could have used a longer build up to really hit with some impact at the climax. The ending kind of fell flat for me, to be honest.
I loved the premise, I loved picking up the little easter eggs along the way, but it honestly just didn't feel super satisfying for me because it felt a little too rushed. Probably just my tastes in horror/suspenseful novels. I really enjoy the build of tension, and in a novella you can't really build the tension for too long or you run out of space.
Not mad about it, happy I read it, but I just personally didn't find it as gripping as I'd hoped it would be.
