It's a 3,5 stars read for me. This story is sad and scary and utterly disturbing. Read it in a bus while coming back from a business trip and although I was extremely tired, I just couldn't stop reading it. In the middle of the story I found myself trusting nobody and just waiting for something horrible to happen. Definitely worth reading. I highly recommend it and will be reading Victor Lodatos other works.

Devastating, but ends too abruptly.

Opening lines:
She’s carrying two skateboards, two backpacks, the banjo in its scratched-up case—a husk of molded leather that’s always looked to her like a giant key but now seems more like a coffin.
