Mehhhhh

Düsterer und Verwirrender Psychothriller Ich mochte den Vibe des Buches sehr gern - Düster und verwirrend mit vielen Metaphern. Man merkt schnell, dass Merricat eine sehr eigensinnige Sicht auf die Welt hat, was die Erzählweise des Buches schwer verständlich macht. Am Ende bin ich ehrlich gesagt immer noch nicht ganz sicher was alles nun wirklich passiert ist und warum, aber ich schätze das macht den Charme des Buches aus.

honestly, I have mixed feelings. The plot itself was intriguing, and I appreciated the way the story unfolded—but it took me forever to get through. It kind of dragged me into a reading slump, which was frustrating. Part of me wonders if it was because this was my first classic, so maybe I just wasn’t used to the pacing. Either way, the book felt really long, and I struggled to stay invested for a lot of it. But here’s the thing: by the last few pages, I finally understood why I had put in all that effort, and the ending did make some of the slow build worth it. Overall, I can’t fully recommend it unless you’re prepared for a slow, deliberate read. The story has merit, but the journey there felt a little exhausting at times.

it was an interesting book. I really enjoyed reading it, and I found the writing style readable.  I still can't figure out why Mary Katherine put arsenic in the sugar and it makes me wonder if I didn't understand something in the book I loved how the author played with the gothic genre and how she managed to let us enter Mary Katherine's mind and I truly appreciated how well-depicted the villagers were A book you need to read! be aware that the book contains many tw such as fire, fire injuries, child & parents death, illness, poisoning, read it only if you feel comfortable enough.

Loved this short and interesting spooky story. She has an excellent humor and is very easy to read.
