i read this in two sittings and felt like i was on crack the whole time. i kinda guessed the plot twist, but just because i knew there was one. still, i liked how the author makes use of an unreliable narrator. a solid 4 stars!

OK SO I WAS GOING TO ONLY GIVE THIS BOOK FOUR STARS CAUSE I WASNT FEELING IT REALLY TOWARDS THE END BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE LAST FEW PAGES I WAS IN TEARS SOBBED ON MY PAGES GOD MY BOOK HAS TEARS STAINS IN IT AND MY FACE HURT AFTER SOBBING GOD.

anyway, any book that can make me cry

(mostly cause i felt so attached to these characters and their ending was depressing)

deserves 5 stars imp.
