Especially because at the halfway point in this book, I was feeling like, oh, maybe it's going to be like a three star because I just thought it was a little bit slow, but the story, at least for me, it really came together in the second half and I could see what Paul Trembley was trying to do and I was like, this is such a great concept.

I've loved Barrier Gaze by Chuck Tingle so much. like that's one of my top favorite horror books.
I just really was not feeling gripped by the story. And to be honest, it was kind of reminding me of like so many thrillers that I've read in the past.
I mean, I was enjoying it in the first half. Like I was kind of torn between like maybe three stars, maybe four stars for the first half of the book and then the second half really lost me and I just wasn't the biggest fan of the second half of this story.
And this was something that I read as a kid and I really loved. Like, I was really freaked out by this story.
I mean, I think this book, it was in my top five favorite books that I read last year, if I'm remembering correctly. Like, this is one of my god tier favorite books of all time.
God, this had so much good commentary and it was also just so horrific and horrifying and like the kind of horror that's going to like flip your stomach upside down, but I mean that in the best way. So, I had a great time with this. It's five stars for me.
Like I had a lot of fun with this book. I loved the idea of the reality show and I loved these two and their chemistry. I thought that they were so cute.
