Another “scariest book I’ve ever read” over-hype from TikTok.
Incidents is told from the perspective of a child (one ridiculously astute at times) who repetitively pretends she’s asleep to “overhear” the adults talking.
The adults are insufferable. Bad decisions stretching a meandering plot - with the mother being the true horror of the book.
With all of that said, there are some creepy moments with Other Mommy that could work far better as a movie.
