this book made me feel so many things. i very much disliked the protagonist and it was really something to watch the character development throughout the journey that they experience. Hill’s take on the dead haunting the living is so interesting and different. it isn’t often that i’m completely satisfied with the ending of books, but this one was great and i couldn’t have imagined a better end.
