ngl i did not enjoy this as much as i wanted to :/ dramatic in all the wrong ways, neither main character was lovable (which can work, if done correctly), and good god i hate second person pov. my toxic trait is being unable to put down a book, even if it’s terrible, and so here i am. it wasn’t… Terrible. just. not good?

This book was not good from the start and i really had to drag myself through, but nevertheless I was intrigued by the little flashbacks and the notion that Kelly was hallucinating everything. Overall, I didn't find a single character likeable and the twists were not super surprising. I don't regret reading it at all, but I think it'd make a better movie than book.
