What I liked
First, thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC!

Thematically, this story is so smart.  I really liked the conversations it was bringing about and the themes it explored. Well done.  The horror was perfect for YA.  Creepy, a bit gory, but still tame enough that I think folks who don't love horror will still enjoy it.  Also I'm always down for a Sapphic story!  Unfortunately, outside of that, not much worked for me.  

I don't mind slower paced stories usually but the first 50% of this was a slog to get through. The second half got better for about 70 pages but then the end fell apart again for me.

I felt like a lot of this was disjointed, specifically the main character and how she changes.  It felt really slow and then incredibly sudden.

This is definitely going to be a favorite for a lot of folks, and I'm very interested in seeing what Legrand writes next.
