A really tense and interesting read. The ambiguity of the circumstances the characters are stuck in makes you unsure of who to root for, of who is right and who is wrong, but that makes it all the more engaging.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are pretty developed despite the book being on the shorter side. The concept was amazing and i think that for the most part is was executed great. I know some people didn’t like the ending but because of the overall ambiguity of the book up until the ending, it felt very fitting to me. This book left me confused, empty, and slightly scared in the best way. I would absolutely recommend if you don’t mind ambiguity in your books!

This book wrecked me. It is dark, it is sad and most of all nothing is okay. But my gosh was it great.
