Review:
There were a lot of things I really enjoyed about this book and I'm glad I read it!
One of my favorite parts of this was the setting; I loved the descriptions of the forest and the eeriness of it. There's something haunting and really atmospheric about it that I think was very well captured. I also liked reading about the characters in here and how we read from two different perspectives; I feel like the inner lives, thoughts and emotions of the characters were captured beautifully and there are some really moving moments in here.
I think the mystery in here is intriguing even if I could definitely tell what direction it was going in when I was halfway through the book. I do perhaps wish what was going to happen was a little less obvious and that we had some more twists and surprises.
Although this isn't a particularly long book, I do think it drags out a little bit as well. Still though, I really liked the writing, the atmosphere and the way the characters were captured, so I'd say it's worth the read just for that.
