˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
This was definitely an interesting read, the narrator bringing an almost unserious aloof tone to the story telling that I really enjoyed. Overall the book was dark, powerful, and had an almost haunted vibe to it.
I was really unsure how to rate this book. It felt a lot like nonfiction so it felt a bit strange rating too low but overall it was a bit meh. I did like how it felt like someone was telling their life story. However, at times it was a bit confusing keeping up with some parts of it. I might try a re-read later on to see if I like it any better but for now it was a neutral rating.
Thank you so much to PrideBookTours, the author and publisher for this copy
