While I did enjoy the story overall, I did think the characters to be rather weird and I didn’t particularly like the ending. I know that Amelia and James are only seventeen but the way they were talking with each other just seemed a bit off. They didn’t show any emotions at all which made it hard for me to relate to them.

However, the story itself was still very interesting to read and I was curious about what would happen in the house. Some parts of the story creeped me out a little and enhanced my fear of deep waters. I feel like the fact that I was reading the book in the dark helped the horror vibe a little bit though.

When I arrived at the end of the book, after complaining a little more about the weird way the teenagers were communicating with each other, I was not surprised that the ending was not conclusive. Nonetheless, I still was unsettled by how much we were left hanging and how many questions remained unanswered. I am generally a person who does not like open endings but usually, I can deal with a few remaining unanswered questions. In this book, however, I just felt like the author should have given us at least a few more pages or explanations.

Even though I did not like everything about this book there were some parts that I really enjoyed. I did like the writing overall but found that most of the conversation between the two was rather weird and not like I imagine seventeen-year-olds to talk to each other, even when they are nervous about their first date together. Additionally, the ending just left me hanging a little too much in my opinion. I am giving the book three stars since I still think it is a book others will definitely enjoy if they don’t mind in-conclusive endings that much.
