typically love my shirley jackson, but i think i went into this one anticipating a different story than i got. i still enjoyed it, especially natalie as a character and the portrayal of trauma & dissociation. very introspective book without much of a defined plot. a lot left unsaid for the reader to interpret on their own. i feel like it might hit better upon a reread with adjusted expectations
