Side note: this further confirmed my decision not to have children.
Another side note: Is it bad that I related a little to Hanna (remembering child me)? I wasn't psychopathic like Hanna but I definitely liked causing trouble and felt smarter than everyone. I would never have been able to be silent though lol

The story is told from Suzette and Hanna’s perspectives. It’s interesting to see both sides and I think there was one instant where I almost felt bad for Hanna. But overall she’s an absolute brat.
Nobody in this story was likable, except for the psychologist that showed up occasionally. Hanna is evil, Suzette is selfish, and Alex is clueless.
Overall, the book was written well. I definitely had to finish. But it was creepy and not what I expected.
