This book has an interesting premise and things start to move quickly right from the beginning. I have a hard time distinguishing how I feel about this book. I was simultaneously rooting for and against the main character for most of the book, and the ending was something. It was certainly a unique book experience.

I love books with delusional main characters and boy oh boy was June delusional. Seeing her thought process and she did was she did was just unreal. I loved seeing how she rationalized thing that truly just can't be rationalized in my eye at least... She was so unhinged especially by the end, and I enjoyed every second of reading it. Fabulous ending, I truly wish we got to see what happened...
