Thanks to Netgalley and publisher Quill and Crow for a free copy in exchange for an honest review. 

I loved the setting, the prose, the characters, I absolutely loved the premise (big fan of stairs in wood stories on Reddit) so for that I think the book will definitely find its audience. It's a pretty solid debut. 

There is, however, one paragraph that completely threw me off and I found it hard to concentrate on the book for several chapters ("Do you blame yourself?"). I really don't like finding """"internet culture"""" in the books I read, so it's really more of a personal issue. 

I also feel that Theo was thinking too much at times and that was dragging the chapters out. I'd add that the plot was quite confusing at times and I had to reread to make sure I'd got it right, but overall it's a very good read!
