Very very good. Only reason it's not a 5 stars is I found the ending relatively predictable. The voice in this steals the show - as someone who studied creative writing, I feel so exposed it was terrifying

Want to rate somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. Part of me did really enjoy the “horror” aspects of June seeing Athena’s ghost but I did get a little bored of it. I guessed that Candice would seek revenge immediately, not necessarily a criticism but I would like it to have turned out to be someone random and that June is making it up in her head like the Diana scene. Not sure if I’ll re-read but I did enjoy seeing the complex relationship between Athena and June become more clear throughout the novel.

It was not what I was expecting. A very interesting way to write a book and perspective.
