"I read this a while back and it was amazing 🤩. It’s really interesting, at first it’s like your average good mystery but then it takes an awesome turn. What happens at the end is 😱 "

"Very cute. Daffodil is a likable quirky character. Starts off slow but then has twists and turns leaving you a little confused as to what’s happening but it all makes sense at the end. "

"I kinda hated it at the beginning. The mc kinda sucked but i kept reading. it just got better. the twists and turns left my head spinning and once i finished it just left me in a state of disbelief. overall pretty good."

"2.75/5. very boring and slow. more of a build up book then a supernatural book. not really for me. "

"by the title, I was kinda expecting a horror type book even though it says it isn’t. It was kind of like I was reading a thriller, which I’m not complaining about cause I read a lot of them. This book had a very slow storyline and the main character Daffodil was kind of beating around the bush for majority of the book. I would say the last five chapters has the most going on. But I will say that it is a very good storyline and it’s unlike anything I have read. If you kinda want a mix of a horror and a thriller, (but mostly thriller) and you want something that isn’t really scary, I would say give it a read! It’s a good one for beginners. "

She gets to college and realizes her gaps in time and people she met at the house are all because she also died in the wreck with her boyfriend."
