What a fun horror story! Or, as fun as a horror story can be. Thank you so much to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Netgalley and Jasper DeWitt for this quick and engaging read. I flew through this book and loved every second of it. It was the ultimate psychological thriller because it was set in a mental institution. A new doctor comes to the hospital and wants to take on the most challenging client. This client has been in the hospital since he was 6 years old and every single person who has been on his case has quit, and most of them killed themselves after.

Thoughts: I loved that this book was written in the form of a blog. It was a super fun format and made reading feel personable and easy. I felt like I was reading a Reddit post or a creepy pasta and it was great! I loved how spooky this book was and how you never really knew what was going on. I connected with the characters and the setting immediately, and loved that even though this book was only about 200 pages, each page contributed to the story.

I found the ending of this book to be satisfying and liked that it was a little open to interpretation. There were so many “maybe” moments in this book and I loved that. Creepy vibes? Check! A horrifying setting? Check! A chilling ending? Check! 4.5 stars from me!
