Characters- 5/5*
The characters felt rich, deep, and most importantly real. You hated some of them but understood the 3D image of them.
Once you get into it you couldn’t put the book down. Trust me I tried!
The structure of the story was beautifully done. Even the exposition drew you in. Every moment of the journey had thus unsettling feeling that just made the book so much better.
It was basic but that was the point. I added the the gravity of the story an every day neighborhood. My only complaint is as someone not from London I was lost with a few thing and would have loved a hair more description. (But that’s just me being knit-picky)
Even after life gives you hell you can find a way to live again, it will take time, but you can do it.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a thrill and needs a reminder of why they like to read.

Overall, I liked the book. It got a little slow in the middle, and I didn't find any of the characters particularly likeable, not even Laurel or Poppy, really, but the plot was compelling enough that I wanted to see what happened, and how things wind up in the end. I was pleasantly surprised.
