Everyone is comparing this book to The Shining, but since I’ve never watched or read The Shining, I don’t see that.
I disliked Hannah instantly. The idea of having a romantic getaway with your boyfriend before he leaves for college is good, but the idea of taking him to a cabin in the middle of no where that he has expressed his hatred for? Dumb idea. But I kept reading anyway because it was interesting enough and I wanted to see where it went. It was creepy and eerie and just plain weird at some points. I see a lot of people complaining about the ending, but I didn’t find any fault in that. My issue is this should have been longer. It’s a scant 200 pages and that just doesn’t feel like enough for good character developement and definitely not enough for that specific plot.
