Honestly I'm super impressed with the complexity of such a short book. It was absolutely captivating and I found myself much sadder than I thought I'd be when it finished. Would 100% read this again in the future. Perfect mix of horror, teen angst/growth, complex decisions and human error. Loved the time skips as well, made the story flow naturally and kept the reader (myself) on the edge of my seat waiting to see what she did next.
