What an absurd, weird book. The ending felt super rushed. The characters were also not fully realized, they felt a bit like cardboard cut-outs.
I think my expectations for this one sunk my actual ability to enjoy it. It was EVERYWHERE, so I figured it must be pretty spectacular, and plus, I love a good horror book. But its actually more gothic (I know, the name should have been a clue) than horror (despite the MPG) and I found it more ewww than scary. And it was kind of boring. That'll teach me to read GR choice award winners.

The 2nd half of the book was brilliant but it was slow to start for me.
It's good so far. It took me a little longer than I thought to read this book on a second read, but I still feel it reminds me of a different book I read years ago. I anticipated the ending to some degree. But it is still a little eerie and worth the read. I recommend it to others.
