Really engaging and entertaining read. Dark, with well done exploration of protagonist's spiral into revenge craze. Sad because the friend group was so great but Magpie wasn't willing to stay. Interesting magical(?) system without much explanation, but it worked. Not my usual style of writing but it fit the story and vibe. Liked the theme of the magpie poem as chapter titles. There were some strange parts from side characters - didn't seem to understand why Magpie wanted to avoid Allison and Brandon.

I enjoyed the world and the unreliable narrator, but I think this book threw too many traumatic experiences at us to make it truly enjoyable. The description of the sexual assault that took place was too much for me, if I’m being honest. I understand including traumatic experiences to show a fantasy style horror as well as realistic horror, but the trigger warnings list is too long and isn’t resolved too well. I understand if that’s the point because it’s a horror book and meant to leave you with an ambiguous ending and a funny feeling, but it just doesn’t sit right with me in a way, especially since the main character is so young. Would recommend the author, because I truly loved her next book “Horrid,” but I’d recommend this book with a heavy list of trigger warnings first.
