Wow! I didn't expect to love this book so much! The main character captured my heart right away (and surprisingly there were many parts that had me laughing out loud which feels so inappropriate for the themes of the book, but this author is very gifted). Couldn't put it down!

This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

This book was INCREDIBLE. I was not expecting to finish it as quickly as I did, but I legitimately could not put it down. 

The pacing is incredible, the main character is witting and intriguing, and the plot was truly intriguing. The twists were wonderful, and the references to classic movies were absolutely fantastic. Man. The hype is so deserved.
