1. Scott’s unraveling is slow and grounded — not supernatural, just human. Did he read to you as sympathetic, dangerous, or both at once?

Mostly sympathetic — I pitied him more than I feared him


Mostly dangerous — his choices felt predatory


Both at once — I was torn between empathy and dread

2. The park becomes a stage for escalating tension. Which moment first made you think “something is really wrong here”?

The pizza night and Scott’s reaction to the camping plans


The campground / gatehouse scenes at night


The convenience store encounter


Another moment entirely

3. How did you feel about Robin’s decisions as the pressure builds — understandable, reckless, or emotionally true under stress?

Mostly understandable — she’s doing her best with bad options


Mostly reckless — she ignored too many red flags


Emotionally true — her choices felt messy but believable

4. Site 123 blurs coincidence with intent. At what point did it stop feeling like “a bad weekend” and start feeling like predation for you?

5. The novel asks whether obsession is closer to love or control. After finishing the story, where did you land?
