This was a book that had me hating certain characters and not really liking any of them, but in a good way. Basically, you’re not really following any heros here. The writing style almost felt like I was reading a confessional scene in a reality show (not sure if that’s just me though) which I felt really suited the story itself. The characters make very questionable decisions but they fall in line with who the characters are. It’s a pretty solid story that I think a lot of people will enjoy, though it can be a bit predictable. The journey there was just a fun, hot mess.

This was okay, but the “crazed mother” trope is getting a little old.

I binged this in a very short period of time. This book started off running and I could not stop listening. It kept me on my toes throughout the story and I wasn't sure how it would end. The ending was satisfying although sad and forboding.

4.5 rounded up to 5. Fits into my favorite category of book that I like to call "compulsively readable". One of those books you can't put down, and keeps you flipping pages.

This was ok, I liked the concept but it did fall a bit flat for me with the writing and just the way the storyline unfolded.
