I got really roped into this book while reading it. I couldn't put it down, and it kept me up at night.

The ending was very anticlimactic, and the desciptions are quite graphic

4.5

This is the best YA book I've read in a long while. It was so well thought through! The story was very complicated while everything remained perfectly clear to the reader. And every single plot twist made perfect sense! It all tied in so perfectly, and I don't feel like I have to read it again to really understand what happened (which is how I tend to feel with most books like this). However, it was right at the very end that things began to come undone. So much was happening that it did become confusing to keep track, and our main characters made some odd decisions. It also had a very open ending, which is one thing I find extremely disappointing when the rest of the book was so good! But ignoring that, this is definitely worth reading for anyone who enjoys very intense books with lots of plot twists.
