File under: books I really wanted to like but it just didn't work out.

It's not you - it's me? Maybe. I fell asleep twice while reading this novella and had to stagger it over many days which is not at all what I expect out of a short horror story.

Nothing landed right for me in this book. I agree a lot with the one star reviews: why do all these people hate each other? Also, why did the two people getting married invite only three guests who they have past romantic history with and/or despise? The weirdness of that premise and all the dialogue that followed distracted from the actual setting and plot so profoundly that I honestly feel like a chunk of the book was missing. I'm left underwhelmed, confused, and frustrated, so a one star it shall be.
