My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen

dark medium-paced

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Such a great read. I loved the first few chapters and how they mixed Roos' perspective with patient interviews; it was a great way to frame the story and slowly introduce Roos and Ruth as characters as well as the main plot. I also loved how queer it was! And all of the gore-y and spooky visuals. The plot itself kept me engaged and guessing and I thought the twists were very satisfying.
