• I loved it way more than I thought I would. Yeah, the marketing is a tad off - it’s not a horror, it is more of a suspense story - but really, marketing teams rarely get it right anymore. I don’t even pay attention to them honestly.
• Genuinely adored the characters. Makani was realistic, slightly unlikable and perfectly authentically herself. Loved it.
• Cute LI. Yeah, their relationship was rushed and started off oddly but it was sweet.
• AMAZING SCS!
• Reveals were a little too early. The ending a teensy bit too anticlimactic. Wanted more.
• Gore was real and there and gross. I obviously have a weak stomach compared to all the other reviewers. I thought it was enough - plenty enough.
• Just so much authenticity that I appreciated. Girls mentioning their periods and tampons. Pronouns discussions. Friends that actually talk to you when they have concerns about your partner and the nature of your relationship. Bad hair days.
• Grandparent characters are my weakness.
• Worth the hype, honestly.

Full review to come.
