I thought this book was edging me on on topics that I wanted to know more about. The author briefly mentioned topics such as racism, white privilege, and classism. I didn’t quite understand why the author mentioned them without having those conversations. I guess considering <possible spoiler> the ending those conversations couldn’t be had. I also thought the book was kinda slow, it focused heavily on the MC Cady Sinclair and her wading through her memories and remembering them which I personally didn’t like. I did like how the author put what the MC was going through in a fairytale format. It was really creative and told a story without actually confessing anything, which I feel like is very reminiscent of the Sinclair family. There were parts where I wasn’t sure where the MC was being dramatic and where the MC was being serious. She mentions a part where

her dad shoots her??? and then turns out it was a metaphor for him hurting her??? I don’t know I was confused…

. I liked how the book kept me asking questions along with the MC, I spent the whole book trying to figure out what else happened and how it fit in the story. I loved the ending and was not really expecting it and it made me cry so hard. I liked this book and would read it once more in the future to see if I get more of it.

the writing! is so good! idt it could ever be turned into a movie bc it just wouldn't make sense that way n it doesn't have that same poetic effect y’know? i might be overreacting n overanalyzing but sm symbolism in the character's thoughts n words n parallels is really well written, but very easy to read. 

the plot is so unexpected and i love the switches between the flashbacks and the memories. although i kinda wish it wasnt a

ghost story and it was just hallucinations instead,

  would hv made it alot better

This book made me cry and was also one of the most fun books I've read this year. Hooked me right from the start and kept me guessing right to the very end.
