This book had the most creative insults and one-liners. Also I had to look up so many of these big fancy words! It’s a real rollercoaster

This book starts slow but accelerates to a, if you'll pardon the pun, breakneck speed. I found myself appreciating the slowness by the end -

it's almost like it forces you into the experience of our unreliable and highly engaging narrator. 

I won't get into the ending but it was so intense that I couldn't sleep afterward! The relationships built between the main characters and reversals are shocking in the best way. </spoilers>

If you can get through the first third, you're golden. Then tarnished. Then blood-spattered. Then something else entirely that is also somehow golden.
