Fun read with a unique premise. Only complaint is it was shorter than I expected (more of novella). However, there is a sequel, which I will read next.
Wildly imaginative, this was a fast read that I didn't want to put down. Sadly everyone I trust says to read this as a standalone because the sequel wasn't nearly as good.

forgot about this until I saw I didn’t write a comment. winner of a plot tbh I wasn’t expecting it to hit great it couldn’t have been done better. was constantly wanting to pick the book up to read what would happen next. last third was a little predictable and like okay cool let’s get to the point but solid 3.5-4

This book starts off so strongly, and has an amazing premise. But for me, the structure of it being a kind of memoir told to the narrator we meet first didn't work particularly well. It ended up feeling like more of a prologue than the first of a trilogy, and the style made me feel too removed from Molly and the emotions she was feeling throughout.
Oddly, it may have worked better as a short story, where we didn't have quite so many moments in Molly's life explained and the identity of the person at the start a bigger reveal at the end. I may pick up the other two in the trilogy, but I'm not particularly anxious to do so. I do believe that the story could work very well for people who aren't alienated by the framework.
