Definitely not one of my favourite books but it was very mysterious and I definitely didn’t see the plot twist coming. Age 14+

3.0

I thought the plot twist in this book was good, and there were a lot of interesting points to think about (e.g., Cast’s grief process and her understand of her own grief, the way the teens think about the Sinclair family wealth, and the family dynamics). 

However, I didn’t feel that I really knew the characters. I knew what Cady felt, but I didn’t know any of their interests and true motivations beyond their love for each other. This made it difficult for me to be engaged in the book.

i read this in two sittings and felt like i was on crack the whole time. i kinda guessed the plot twist, but just because i knew there was one. still, i liked how the author makes use of an unreliable narrator. a solid 4 stars!

I did not expect the plot twist at all and really enjoyed it, once I figured out that plot twist I enjoyed the book a lot more.

Die Art und Weise, wie das Buch geschrieben wurde, gefällt mir sehr. Allgemein habe ich das Gefühl bekommen, dass dieses Buch für mich alleine geschrieben wurde. Die Teile des Buchs haben mich alle auf ganz unterschiedlicher Art und Weise berührt. Selbst den großen Twist konnte ich nicht vorhersehen. Die Leserin war fantastisch. Im Endeffekt ist das Buch doch sehr traurig - es hat mich zum weinen gebracht. Den zweiten Teil würde ich aber nicht lesen wollen. Ebenso wenig kann ich mir vorstellen, das Buch noch einmal zu lesen.

I have so much to say about this and nothing to say about this at the same time. Just like, why would you right this? It wasn’t terrible, I just don’t know what the intention was here.
