I really enjoyed this book! Definitely creepy, definitely sad. And quite a twist! I think the only thing it’s missing is more about the narrator’s (adult Merry) “after.” She finishes telling her story to the writer and then walks out into the rest of her life. There’s no motivation about why she chose to allow someone to write about her family tragedy, other than a brief mention of needing more money. Oh well. The plot build up and the multiple POV from the same character was excellent.
