I’m only halfway through this video and I can tell you, definitively, you are a genius. This is absolutely insane. I appreciate this video so much. You did the lords work with this research and story telling
This is the exact video I’m looking for when I look books up on RUclips. Thank you for putting it together! This is definitely one of those books where you need the physical book. I listened to it on an audiobook and it was still good but I missed all the little bits. I’m going to buy it now and actually read it. It’s so good!
When I read the scene where Alison spots Eve in the wardrobe and puts the hammer down, I remember thinking "Alison is free now", and I hadn't connected to the ritual, so I guess the hide and seek is how people change.
Thank you for explaining this! I _just_ finished it and was so confused, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m gonna have to re-read it to see if I can make more sense of it:)
I read it not really thinking it was something I’d like and generally speaking I was right HOWEVER I was totally mindblown by the end. Left with more questions than answers for sure. Thanks for the explanation
Omg....thank you SO much for making this video!!! I just finished this book 2 nights ago and am DYING to talk to someone about it. I went on a rant about it to my husband (who does not read), simply to get some of my inner thoughts out lol. LOVED this video! I was actively responding to you out loud while I watched it🤣🤭.
This was so helpful and fun to watch 🙏🙏. I finished this yesterday and I had so many questions. I missed the whole ritual replacement concept and now everything makes so much more sense, but I still want another book in the same universe 😭😤
So there are weird instances like where Jenny says sorry and it mirrors Allison mentioned, the one that really stuck out to me was the document that was the video of the man being inrerviewed. The way he describes his friend standing in the basement mirrors almost exactly the moment Thomas is in the basement and Eve finds him unresponsive.
I finished this book today. I am completely freaked out. My fiancé proceeds to see that I've finished a book in a matter of hours and says "wow I'm impressed with your ability to read" and i said "honey. You can read too." He says and no lie (knowing nothing about this book) "oh I've never been able to read this whole time." and then bursts into laughter as I'm like wait ✋️. Please do not make me question my reality. I FREAKED out.
I think Eve swapped universes the moment she answered the door for the family in the beginning. If not, then Charlie would have mentioned the voicemail Eve left her mentioning the family in the epiloge.
Yaaaaas! Just finished this book a few hours ago and my mind is blown 😳 🤯. I came to see what other booktubers have to say. My pizza's in the oven, I'm about to roll up and get into your video honey 💅🏾
I read this book in a day and this video was a balm to my lost soul lol. it left me feeling so torn up and confused and scared and this decoded some things for me but there's still so much I don't get! ending is so tragic >.< awesome summary
This is such a good video god bless you for making it. i loved the book so so much but finished it with so much curiosity still. you definitely helped bring so much easily missed depth from the book to life. i already want to reread it😆
@35:03 I thought the "monkey" was just her way of labeling (maybe even "dealing with"🤷🏾♀️) the whole of her anxiety/ anxious thoughts 🤔. As a comfort type thing cuz it was her comfort animal as a kid, and that's what she turned it into as a adult ??? 🤔🫠🫠🫠😂 idk
Thank you for your dedication to trying to explain this crazy book lol. I had trouble understanding this one and thought I just didn’t get it. But a few things worked against me I think 😅. I didn’t know the author had a Reddit style story history. And I also listened to the audio book. I think that made me miss a lot of the clues including the Morse code parts of the documents. But even with all that idk if I would have came out with any more clarity because even after your explanation it still unknown what the hell was going on lmao. Great job and hopefully there’s more books soon with more to this universe
My sister always had the theory that they're all dead & are now seeing all versions & possibilities of their lives but in a scattered way that doesn't always make coherent sense because the neurons are dying in their brains. edit: my personal theory is that they're all inside someone's head, potentially Thomas', and are all either alternate personalities of said person, or are figments of their dream world. My second theory is that it's still, as I said, a dream world... buuuuut... it's a dream world that draws real people in from the real world. In reality they're all in comas as it spreads further from the source person, again likely Thomas.
All of those theories are really interesting. I definitely don't really agree with your sister's theory mainly because of the documents provided. I like the dream world theory where people are drawn in. I think that could work for a lot of things happening and would explain why there are strange documents and such
Am I the only one who read the book with English as my foreign language? Hello from Indonesia. I really enjoy your explanations. Just finished reading the book last night 😅, questions here and there 😂. Love this book tho ❤
thank youu for this,great recap🤩, it was an engaging book for sure,but i was so confused at the last part and ending of the book, didnt realize it was a another reality until when charlie went up to the house to ge their stuff,lol still have many questions 😆 though
Question : if there are many realms or realities, what happens to the Eve in those realems when the reality 1's Eve enters the other realms? What happens to the other 'Eves' 😮
Thanks for the video. I just finished this on the weekend and loved it but left feeling... uninformed haha. Sorry if I missed this in your vid or in the comments but I started writing down the morse code as they came up (which was fun) but thought it was a fairly random thing to include. However, it's probably a stretch but there are multiple references to characters tapping with their fingers on chair arms etc. I wonder if they (possessed or no) are communicating with morse code? I don't seem to recall Eve ever doing it though. Probably a stretch but I thought it was worth noting. Thanks again for the vid.
So her legal name is Charlotte, but in some timelines she hates the name so she goes by Charlie while in others she likes the name and goes by Charlotte. It's one of the things they use to show where she is in the story.
Ohhhhh... I want to watch this but since you seemed to really love it and I just read the blurb I might need to read it for myself now. So it will be another watch later video for me so I won't get anything spoiled. The fact that you tabbed and annotated in it too? Ya, I need to read it. Just not sure when. It sounds like something that would be great to listen on audiobook and follow along in the book. 🤔I never tab or annotate either so it might be fun.
You should toooootally attempt reading it and let me know what you think. The audiobook is really good. I listened to the audiobook and followed along in the book and I agree that's the best way to read it.
Have you read Slade House? The way you are describing this book makes me think of Slade House and I loved that book. Maybe I'll have to check this one out...even though I watched your whole video. 😅
there are so many things you are still missing.... the boys are the boys that got lost from the document. The boy from the document is in alternative reality (the boy found versus the sister found). would love to do a chat if you are still interested
I did mention the boys in the video at some point. I also made this awhile ago before some new information came to light too. I may be making a follow up to correct some stuff
I’m only halfway through this video and I can tell you, definitively, you are a genius. This is absolutely insane. I appreciate this video so much. You did the lords work with this research and story telling
I would have NEVER picked up on all of this myself
Aww it's Katie ❤❤

This is an interesting theory!
Terrific video. Your analysis is really helpful. I missed a lot of these details. Thank you!

I lost SO much only listening to an audiobook.
Omg....thank you SO much for making this video!!! I just finished this book 2 nights ago and am DYING to talk to someone about it.

same! i made my mom read it so i could talk to someone about it lol
I literally made this video because my husband couldn't stand me mentioning it to him every 30 seconds over a 48 hour period. So I 1000% get you
I just finished this book, needed this explanation so bad!
This was so helpful and fun to watch 🙏🙏. I finished this yesterday and I had so many questions. I missed the whole ritual replacement concept and now everything makes so much more sense, but I still want another book in the same universe 😭😤
There's going to be more books in the same universe and he has Reddit stories set in the same universe that you can read now

I just finished this book and I'll never be the same again. 😭
Thank you so much for this!! Amazing summary. Just what I needed after finishing this.
Thank you for this 🙏🏾 may your stockings overflow and your tree held up by presents
This book had me searching for a recap/walktrough so I could process it 😂 This was exactly what I wanted thank you! ❤
I think Eve swapped universes the moment she answered the door for the family in the beginning. If not, then Charlie would have mentioned the voicemail Eve left her mentioning the family in the epiloge.
Yaaaaas! Just finished this book a few hours ago and my mind is blown 😳 🤯. I came to see what other booktubers have to say. My pizza's in the oven, I'm about to roll up and get into your video honey 💅🏾
Have you read House of Leaves? I’m curious because I feel like the bizarre vibes are similar (even though the books are not alike)
I read this book in a day and this video was a balm to my lost soul lol. it left me feeling so torn up and confused and scared and this decoded some things for me but there's still so much I don't get! ending is so tragic >.< awesome summary

Thanks for this review I was very confused about the reality concept and I had no idea about the Hidden Messages😂
@35:03 I thought the "monkey" was just her way of labeling (maybe even "dealing with"🤷🏾♀️) the whole of her anxiety/ anxious thoughts 🤔. As a comfort type thing cuz it was her comfort animal as a kid, and that's what she turned it into as a adult ??? 🤔🫠🫠🫠😂 idk
The book was good and so was this video. Thank you for it. 😊
This was so much fun to watch!

You know if she got a whiteboard, shits about to get wild 😅
Realizing now how much I missed. Thank you for this!

I had a doubt, according to the book only Thomas lived in the house but the book's title is "We used to live here" and not "I used to live here"???
Yeahhhhh. I am toying with an update video because I started considering the title as well and what it means
I wonder if her name is eve because she is being tempted. There are a lot of religious zealot references throughout the book
Love this! I didn't even consider that!!
This was very enjoyable - thank you for the breakdown!
Thanks!
Am I the only one who read the book with English as my foreign language? Hello from Indonesia. I really enjoy your explanations. Just finished reading the book last night 😅, questions here and there 😂. Love this book tho ❤
Lmao “welcome to Kimberly’s conspiracy theories”
Yes another unhinged book vlog!
The photo for this video is pure conspiracy gremlin, love it!!
I aim to be Queen of the Gremlins 🤣
Not you making me think I was in a diff reality calling Heather Hannah lmao
🤣🤣 I was so confused where I even got that name from when I was editing.
@kimberlyreads that's how it starts 👀 jk jk jk
@@melissapisarski9799 👀👀 not you making me paranoid. BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT STARTS 🤣
@@kimberlyreads we should stop 😂 we're going to end up in matching hospital gowns

The Netflix Movie/ series NEEDS to be by Mike Flanagan. He would DEVOUR.
YAAAAAAAS PLEASE
Says in the book that Charlie’s name was Charlotte on her birth certificate, but she hasn’t answered to that in years….?
So her legal name is Charlotte, but in some timelines she hates the name so she goes by Charlie while in others she likes the name and goes by Charlotte. It's one of the things they use to show where she is in the story.

I've gotten this rec a few times! I added it to my list and I'm looking into it
@kimberlyreads Yay! Would love to hear your thoughts.
This video makes me want to read this book!
You should definitely give it a shot!

"LISTERN TO THE MONKEY!!!!!rofl
🤣🤣🤣
Omg I just finished this book a day ago and I have been unhinged 😂😂
The perfect reaction to reading the book 🤣🤣
This book was so cool, but it makes me feel so dumb lol
Just started this book and I hate Jenny with a passion. Her behavior is insufferable.
You’re killing me I thought her name was heather ??!? 😳
It is 😂😂😂 I convinced myself it was Hannah
Newton Newbie is an AWFUL name 😂
