Listen, I'm not an extreme horror girlie, but I will honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this despite how disgusting it is. Every single bit of violence made sense. I adored our final boy. And the twist is so utterly fucked up but also scarily believable when you take into consideration our current political and socioeconomical climate.

Extra half star for the Gabra Zackman's narration because they expertly played both mother and daughter impeccably but also every other side character just as impressively. I kind of enjoyed 'The Perfect Child' by Lucinda Berry a bit more than this one (I only compare because they're very similar), but I'm definitely intrigued to read Stage's 'Dear Hanna' to see the developments after this leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger.

An incredible work that showcases the effects and stages of addiction while also showcasing the hard reality of sobriety, and how much American culture would rather blame the person for their addiction (or former addiction) instead of calling out the higher
powers that cause and do nothing for those struggling with addiction. I think anyone who is looking to learn more about how someone deals with a current or former addiction should use this as a learning tool for themselves.

TBH, I wanted more of a full revenge plot than a not quite finished story just to have it wrapped up with a happy ending. But this is my first technology focused mystery thriller and I WILL say that I’m a fan of the genre and want to find more.

I mean this in the utmost nicest way possible, pick a trauma and this book will definitely have it. Fantastically written and really gets you in the guts. Be prepared to have tissues on hand. 

Fantastic narration and really gives the listener a good idea of the event that was occurring. Was recommend ‘Joyeux Noel’ as a complementary movie pairing to this book.

Who do I have to call at Shudder to get this turned into a movie?

Man, this made me want to rewatch 'Klaus' (aka the movie that SHOULD HAVE won the Best Animated Feature at the 92nd Oscars.

Could have done without Miriam being engaged at the start and wanted a little more of Noelle's backstory, but otherwise I really enjoyed that this was able to seamlessly combine real life experiences with the cute-sy stuff you see in holiday rom com movies.

I went into this thinking I was going to be getting a completely different story, but I’m glad that I was surprised since I think this does a great job of creating a feminist narrative while also keeping the crazy of the superhero genre. I just wish that this series had 1-2 more issues so we could learn a bit more about the prior team dynamics and more about the characters themselves.
