I read this without knowing anything about this book, I came here completely blind. I hated the first chapters, they sounded pretty stupid and there was too much description. I loved the end though!  The only reason I'm giving 2.5 stars is because I love this exact "plot twist" and I consumed other similar media. I love it but it can be done much better. If you liked this book you'll absolutely love "Mother! (2017)", the story is similar but it's done so much better (tw: a bit of gore in one single short scene).
