a good conclusion

I read this in one sitting so I quite enjoyed it. I was frightened quite frequently, the author was great at building up the creep factor. I liked the alternating POVs, that’s rare in a thriller like this. I enjoyed all the queerness, that was a pleasant surprise. 

I think the ending was wrapped up a bit too quickly (sooo much buildup, not a ton of payout) and I also wish it had gone a bit farther, tbh! 

Unexpectedly riveting! This is my first of any Best American series, and it certainly won’t be my last now!

Every topic wasn’t the most interesting to me (I’m looking at you, astrophysics) but I still learned a lot in every single essay. I had heard of a few of these topics or issues, but not the majority so a lot of them were entirely new to me which was great. I enjoyed the breadth and the diversity of topics and authors. I also enjoyed the focus on social issues such as racism/environmental justice/climate change as it impacts people/social determinants of health, etc.
