3.5 stars! (rounded up to 4) I was initially leaning towards a 4-star rating for this book, but the ending left me somewhat unsatisfied, especially considering the story leading up to it. I had this book on my shelf for a couple of years before finally picking it up, and it felt like the perfect fall read. The story was intriguing and thoroughly enjoyable, right up until the very end. Given the psychological thriller vibe, I expected a more surprising and intense conclusion, but it turned out to be very wholesome. While that's not inherently a bad thing, it wasn't what I had anticipated. While the book is labeled as a thriller, I'm not convinced it neatly fits within that genre. In addition to the thrilling elements, it also includes various subgenres dealing with history, mental health, suicide, grief, college pressures, and complex family dynamics. It was a good read but again, I had hoped for a different ending. Definitely check the trigger warnings if you are someone who needs those. I also listened to part of the book on audio, and Karissa Vacker's narration was truly outstanding (as usual). Her ghost voices were so much fun!
