Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This book was wild. It’s so interesting the way it was presented. You know what’s going on with everyone very early on, but then how they navigate such an awful situation is where the bulk of the story is. I sat here with my mouth agape a lot at what this girl dreamed up to do to her mom and I was so in love with that doctor!!! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

There's a lot of scenes that are just supposed to be like gross out horror but it's not working because there author does not understand horror is a slow build and also a collection of emotions being provoked. For example the child will chew food up and gross combinations and spit it onto her mother's face but that's not gross because the child's been doing stuff like that this entire time. It's not a new thing or surprising it's just gross but we're supposed to feel something about it. Besides annoyed at this child.
The child also has weird comprehensions beyond their capabilities but also is a child and toxic child understands things like a child but other times will know enough that they want their mother to die. Inconsistently the series of pages that I read made me exhausted and rolling my eyes.
It feels like it wanted to be splatterpunk gore but it didn't really hit the mark, it didn't really hit any mark actually. It's just a weird attempt at being controversial but everybody reading it can tell that it's tryharding. It's not even enjoyable in a way that it makes you laugh it just makes you annoyed, cringe, or just tired. Reading it made me so tired that I kept falling asleep because some scenarios are just impossible to imagine with the child doing this or that or even attempting to kill the parent because why would a child understand such complicated things yet talk like a little baby? And when the toddler talks more adult it's in weird clunky sentences.
I don't care about the characters, I don't care about the risks, I don't care about anything going on in this book, I don't even care if somebody new comes in, I just expect them all to go the same way one way or another. Something something the child torments them. It's so quirky and unique it's not like the other girls. Ugh.
1 star and I'm not the only one rolling my eyes at this book. ( )
