I’ve never been a book reader, because they’ve never kept me engaged. BUT this book was absolutely amazing. It kept me wanting to finish, once I started, I couldn’t stop. 
As terrible as the scenario is, this was a fantastic book.

Such an absolutely wild concept but overall really good. The beginning was a bit slow but the more I read the more I couldn’t put it down

the plot was interesting and some of the characters were fine (minus the cartoon-esque villains) but nothing Hooked me, really. I did like how they kept bringing up stranger things though. I bet kylie loves nancy wheeler
