2.5/5 stars.

I went into this one somewhat blind. I head heard what it was about but it was quite a while ago, so I didn't remember.

Unfortunately, I don't think I connected with this book in the way I thought I would. For some reason, it read like a children's book to me. I love children's books but I didn't like this as a children's book. I think it might have been the thirds person POV. It didn't connect with me.

The only things I really enjoyed about this book were the stories that the monster told. I found those really mystical and whimsical. Other than that this book kind missed the mark for me :/
