The premise of this book was very intriguing. Where was Julie for two years and why do her friends act like they are walking on egg shells. Four college friends, who obviously love each other, but also judge on another rather harshly, as friends can, it's a scenario many can relate to.
Setting is the biggest character in this book, the odd tucked away in the mountains inn. Quirky by nature, but made ominous by all the other events. It's like The Shining made pretty, sort of.
The constant push and pull of the friends, should we speak to her, she's not right, has she changed again, became annoying and just like in a horror movie I was yelling at Elise and her friends to get out!
I didn't like the ending to this book at all. There is no rational answer and it's more mystical or magical realism, themes I don't usually like.
