I loved this book.
It started very slow but I came to appreciate that. The beginning of the book is very world building, we learn to live in this town where reality is (hopefully) very far from our own. We see the town through both the eyes of the teens who grew up in this town and the eyes of the teen who recently moved to this town and is grappling with the strangeness of the town. Jen, the teen who freshly moved to town, is critical of the fears of the other teens and reflected by mindset of me as the reader. I appreciated that the characters feel strongly that that ‘mystery’ is not much of a mystery and is utterly explainable. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and we all learn new information together. I’m trying to hard to give nothing away here! But I’m a hard sell for most books, I generally guess the storylines very accurately and get bored with obvious plots. And I was so utterly enthralled with this book that I finished the audiobook in one day because I enjoyed it so much.

Pretty graphic for a YA book but VERY juvenile writing so I guess I get the classification

i fear this book was just a little too long for me, like part one and four were good, but the middle parts dragged a little. i feel like this could make a really good movie though
