We Came to Welcome You is an eerie dive into the real-life horrors of HOA communities, white privilege, and loss of identity, mingled among some Body Snatchers-Happening hijinks.
There was a lot I liked about this, most of which occurred in the second half. The beginning felt like too slow of a build-up for me (Im impatient, so more of a me thing?). Tirado definitely does character development and eeriness well, as we experience a rollercoaster of emotions through Sol, while simultaneously being creeped out as she navigates the hellscape she finds herself in.
After trudging through the beginning, I felt the ending wrapped up too quickly. I was really enjoying the ever evolving developments within the community.
Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the eARC!
