My brain is spinning, I'm shook to the core, there's not a hero and a villain so much as a group of flawed individuals. Absolutely riveting, jaw dropping, twisty, turny, and hard to put down.

 this was a serious mind f*ck, but also I figured out some of what was going on pretty quickly, so it was a bit predictable, though I didn't figure out everything. It was still a decent book though. I miss it had been more about mental health.
