While the writing was, at times, quite good, the character development was a bit choppy - the character Alison seemed like two totally different people at different times in the book. Multiple characters were secretly horrible and pretty unlikeable and there was a bit of gore, which wasn’t super icky but I could have done without it. The story also felt a little disjointed to me. I was compelled enough to keep reading the book to find out what lay beneath the facade of the characters (and to finish it in one day) but ultimately this book is pretty forgettable.
