When She Was Me by Marlee Bush
Did not finish book.
Okay, I had to DNF this at around 50%, which is so sad because it’s an eARC kindly gifted by NetGalley/the author, and I hate requesting books and not finishing them.
The vibes in this are spot on, super spooky, and it really made me feel uneasy, more than anything I’ve read. But I found myself slipping into a reading slump and kept grabbing my phone instead of focusing on the book, which I never do if the book grabs me.
I really liked the premise: two twins stranded in a cabin in the forest because of their past, and then a murder happens... could it be related? But at 50% in, literally nothing has happened. We don’t know anything about their past; they just keep hinting but don’t reveal anything. I can already tell the plot twist is going to be the twins swapping places at some point, past or present, which would be kinda... predictable.
