This was so good, I couldn’t put it down. There were so many things that happened that I did not expect in the least. It was a wild ride, especially the last 100 pages or so. This book goes to show that you never know the lengths someone will go to protect their own interests and cover up their own lies and deceit.

this book was not what i had expected going in, but i’m glad i went in mostly blind.
it reminds me a lot of “imaginary friend” by stephen chbosky” and it was phenomenal.
the writing was informal, but not in an amateur way, it felt very personal. the characters were very three dimensional and felt like real people.
at times i felt it was a little over the top with anya, but overall i really enjoyed this book and Will be recommending it!
