The Paris Apartment

I just truly did not care about this book. It was putting me in a slump.

The characters were boring and every chapter ended with "I HAVE OMINOUS SECRETS. SECRETS!". ok cool?  

I hated every character in this book. They were all too stupid to live. Seriously - they all went on a mysterious hike in the jungle with like one granola bar, a piddly bottle of water and sandals. And then proceeded to make the shittiest decisions at every turn. I cannot. 
 
Also, wtf is this sentence “it wasn’t diarrhea, but something one notch short of it. The shit slipped wetly out of him, collapsing into a small pile between his feet.” WHYYY. WHY IS THIS A SENTENCE THAT EXISTS. 
 
That said, four stars. The story was good. Lots of body horror - super creepy and upsetting. 

This book was so good. A LOT darker than I was expecting, but it was phenomenal.

I wasn't drawn into the story and i have waayyyy too many unread books to read something meh.

hmmm, I wanted to love this. But: animal testing/experimentation, people testing/experimentation, forced institutionalization and a weird “monster” chase… not the kind of monsters I’m looking for. The ending was pretty good though. 

SO GOOD. Def lived up to the hype. the vibes were immaculate. 

this was a fun one. twisty & turny. Loved the camp setting (even though it brought up some bad camp memories of my own lol)

eh... entertaining,  but won't stick with me.

Wowww this was good. A heartwarming, hilarious and devastating novel about starting over.
