I'm not sure if I liked this story or not. The author's preface kind of hooked me with the thematics she approached but the story, kind of let me behind prettty early. I like the idea, the set up was pretty cool and it's definitely well written. But the plot didn't really hook me. I finished it all the way without feeling forced, I mostly enjoyed the ride and can give a summary of it but I don't have any really memorable parts in mind. I was excited by what the author said in the preface about sleep depravation delirium and the scary stories you totally make up in your mind making you jumpy and paranoiac and over thinking everything when you are in this state, that's something I can relate with 😁. But I found that nowhere in the story, or at least the effect wasn't triggered in me during the audiobook. So it's a mitigated review for me.
