Overall, this was a dark intense read. I liked that it was generally ambiguous about its protagonist, and whether the spirit she saw were real. I did not like that. It used the poor communication trope. That was the weakest part of the book for me. The last 30 pages for me or the weakest, but it was very strong until then.
