Don't Let the Forest In

Had no idea what was going on the whole time. But it was a ride.

This is my second time reading this book but the first review I am leaving for it. I LOVE this book. Like, love love it. It haunts my thoughts. It breaks my heart. I want to read it again. And again. I'm obsessed. When I tell you I spent hours on Reddit reading theories from others about their interpretation of this book, especially the ending, I’m not exaggerating. And every perception I read had me in agreement, even when it contradicted the previous theory. I still don’t know if I even I believe what I think. But what I do know is that I love the poetic, flowery writing. It’s so descriptive and beautiful and haunting. I love the main characters Andrew and Thomas. My heart breaks for them and I want to wrap these fictional characters in a tight hug and whisper to them that it will all be alright. Even tho after reading this, I’m not sure that I’ll ever be alright again. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s

It was beautifully written and the concept was interesting.

It would have been more impactful if I had seen the overall relationship between Andrew, Thomas, and Dove.

The manifestation of monsters to represent guilt and grief, very poetic.

Real bad, do not recommend

This fucking book! Just wow this book was so many things. Hauntingly beautiful, creepy, horrific, macabre and I can't even think of any other words to describe it and these words don't even give it justice. At first I wasn't sure how I was feeling about this book but it hit all the things I love and all my emotions. The book kept going and I felt this impending doom as if I was missing something very important but I also already knew the answer. The writing of this book is filled with such poetic descriptions and imagery it made my heart swell. My brain will be living in this book for a while.
