My Thoughts on the Book
Although Catherine House isn't an action-packed novel, I really enjoyed reading it due to the author's writing style and descriptions, the latter made the book and the setting come to life. The descriptions also made the book a really atmospheric read in my opinion, which is a good thing. Another thing that I enjoyed about this book is the LGBT+ representation.
That said, I can't say I was too thrilled about the animal testing mentioned in the book to put it mildly. There's also the mystery/horror aspect, which is downplayed to the extent that I was more or less wondering where's the mystery and horror?
Overall it was a good read though, but I can see that Catherine House isn't for everyone.
