Some of the twists were easy to see coming once other twists were introduced.
I appreciate the themes of the story.

I enjoyed this book, but the ending was definitely YA. I need to track down a similiar book but in adult.

It gave me the same feelings I often had reading books as a child. I cannot remember the last time I felt so well immersed. It did a good job of dropping red herrings do I couldn't quite figure things out whilst also giving me enough crumbs that my fairy story loving brain was a buzzing!
I found parts of it quite dread inducing but in a fun way. Like it was surprisingly scary, I didn't expect it!
I connected a lot with the characters and some over arching themes about what desperation and bad luck can do to us.
Just genuinely very well done.
