This was so good! I was reading this at night along with the audiobook and there was a thunderstorm outside and omg the atmosphere was amazing. There were so many moments where I was genuinely creeped out. I could relate to the MC being the black sheep of the family (although not exactly in the same way) her family was insufferable but unfortunately realistic. The last 100 pages of the book takes on a more satirical vibe and I LOVED IT. The writing was solid. I interpreted the book as a metaphor for how a toxic family/childhood can follow you and take a toll on your life. Definitely recommend!
