It is very confusing at first, but keep with it!

The reveal of what happened to Monday is one of the most intense buildups I’ve ever read

what a page-turner! I was on the verge of tears on several occasions, this book has such an important message. Claudia's self-centeredness really annoyed me at times, but then again my thoughts were similar to hers when I was 14 so I can't really complain. The book had the potential to be 5 stars, but it could have been a tad shorter and there were two tropes I didn't like:

the romantic subplot with Michael (it was okay-ish) and the losing memory stuff. Explains the time skips, but every time the ending is explained by memory loss, it automatically takes away some creativity points.

HOLY COW!!!!

This book is about a young girl, Claudia, who is searching for her best friend, Monday, after not hearing from her in a long time. 

I did not expect to love this book as much as I do! Read this right now! 

It features an unreliable narrator with time jumps that might confuse you until the final chapter when it’s not confusing anymore! The plot twist was so not expected and made the way the book was formatted make so much sense.

This was dark and harrowing and, at times, absolutely heart-breaking, but such a powerful book and one I raced through because I had to know how it was going to end.
