I read this for a book club and I’m really happy that I did. This is my second book I’ve read by Stephen King and I am obsessed with the storytelling, the characters, and the vivid descriptions. I was genuinely feeling the suspense at times, crying at others, and the shock value was incredible. Additionally, during one particularly tense scene, my television randomly turned on and creeped me the heckkkkk out. Good book!
