Content warnings:

Spoiler

gore (throughout), animal death (poison), murder, accidental death (concussion), gun violence, animal attack (dog bite), person buried alive, implied suicide (narrator, end of the book)

If you are at all sensitive to gore, be aware, there is a lot of it in this book. And it's pretty graphic. Check the content warnings above for more detailed (spoilery) stuff.

I am...not sure what to do with this book. It was really interesting, but also super intense. It is full of grief and horror and unexplained happenings. I felt like I was descending into madness along with the narrator, especially towards the end of the book. The second person POV added another jarring layer to the whole thing, because I don't think I've ever read a whole book in second person before.

I'm left feeling slightly unsettled by this book, which I think might be the point. If you're a fan of horror, definitely read this one (and then come talk to me about it so you can explain it to me because I was kind of lost of parts of it).
