I feel like I need to stop reading hyped books because I’m always disappointed. I cannot get my head around why this book is so loved. It’s so boring. I was going to DNF but felt like I had to be missing something. The biggest plot twist was very obvious. I did enjoy the creepy setting and the description of the eerie scenery was well done. However, the pacing is slow and the characters are flat. Also the ending was ridiculous and that last chapter from Sam’s POV was so unnecessary. I feel like the line about someone being “the kind of person who writes one-star book reviews.” was a challenge.
