This cult thriller is about a woman's struggle with reconnecting with people from her tragic past and it explores how love and trust can be used against you. This book also explores the reality many people are faced with when the question to have children arises and the stigma surrounding people who choose not to become parents (more specifically mothers).

I really liked the writing in this book. The author knows how to set the tone and use language to set up the creepy atmosphere; it felt very believable and not eye-rolling at all. The twists were also very unexpected, I think the author knew how to set the plot up and make sure it all worked well together.

I think the characters could have used a bit more development, it wasn't until nearing the end I found myself actually seeing the characters past their 'robotic' personalities. I will say this book did feel a bit too mild to be categorized as a 'horror', but it definitely has dark aspects. I wished there were more intense scenes throughout the book and not just at the ending. A lot of the 'horror' scenarios could have been explored more to add even more to the story.

I enjoyed this book and I think it was well done. It may have been too mild for my taste, but it had very important plot points and was interesting to read. TW: sexual assault and rape. It was not very graphic but it was still present so if you are sensitive to this content, I advise you to skip reading this.
