I really enjoyed this storytelling, and I was definitely kept guessing quite a few times during the story. I think the complicated friendship relationship was really interesting, and the kind of "mixed media" style kept the reader really paying attention.

The pacing was so off on this one for me. I was bored the entire book and then drawn in the last 50 or so pages.
