This book was really engaging and it was fun getting to make connections and discover new details as the book went on. The relationship between the sisters is really interesting and definitely caused me to want to continue reading. The chapters in this book were also quite short which made this pretty easy to read as well.

Dark themes but feels light-hearted. Focus is more on the sibling relationship.

This book hmm… I got through it very fast (in two days, really) but does that mean I enjoyed it? Well, not exactly. I didn’t enjoy the characters; it’s very hard to read a book when you don’t like a single character in it. And I can’t help but feel I continued to read it because I wanted to just see it through to the end and hope, just really hope that the characters would have some type of development that would make them just a tad bit enjoyable. It was just a tragic story with what felt like no real point. I wish I liked this more, but it just… didn’t do it for me.

this book could have been good if it went deeper into everyone's psyches. as it is now, it's just average which is honestly a shame. also the author seems not to realize how not good of a person the main character is which doesn't help its case
