Amazing book, the writing is excellent, great tension building. I had to hold myself back not to finish it immediately. The characters are relatable, I really like how realistic they feel. The topic is a bit dark but handled in an excellent way. I really liked going through the process of grieving with Sydney in the book

and I love the way her relationship with June evolved

, truly excellent book, loved it and will definitely read it again!
