That ending threw me through a loop. I knew that there was going to be a twist, but that wasn't what I was expecting. Overall, it was still a nice read.

This book was so good I finished it in a day! I did get a bit tired of

Claudia’s constant lack of self esteem with her inability to read. She seemed reasonable enough so I wanted to constantly jump into the book and tell her it’s okay to ask for help despite what a few bullies say! I know what it’s like to be that age, but it got tiresome chapter after chapter. Additionally, it was a bit frustrating when she didn’t speak up about her friend missing throughout the story because she had no confidence in herself.

Overall, this book has a gripping plot and makes you forgive the flawed, sometimes annoying characters. It’s truly a wonderful story of friendship that becomes sisterhood.

Devastatingly sad book. While reading it, and especially during the revelation of what really happened to Monday and what's going on with Claudia, it feels like a ball of grief and dread and horror lodges itself in your chest and then deflates leaving you hollowed out. This book will stay with me forever. Made me see a lot of things in a perspective I hadn't before. Like I have to say, though, I had a hard time empathizing with Claudia at first bc I'm always side eyeing characters that are like her, that are so possessive of their friends, so devoted, that their love is so aggressive and all consuming bc it weirds me out. It's definitely an on me reaction because, and I think I finally realized it reading this book, maybe my problem is that I give up too easily with most everything in my life bc I don't like being inconvenienced, and all that nonstop devotion of love, that outpouring all of yourself onto another person seems too much work, too exhausting and like putting yourself up to be hurt. So all my life I've been a loner, I've never had a best friend like Monday. I've never had many friends to begin with bc I've always closed myself off to others for many reasons. But this book made me appreciate people like Claudia and I finally saw everything through that perspective, making me both heartbroken for but endeared to her.
