Super interesting concept but the writing could get confusing/convoluted. 
I liked following the inhabitants of hell in the form of office workers and learning how to make it through/climb the ladder through hell. The human side of the story was interesting at some parts but not my favorite perspective/parts of the book. I preferred following the Pey and Cal side much more than the Harrison's side of the story.
The ending was a bit of a letdown for me though. It wasn't a bad ending per se, but it just wasn't super fulfilling to me.

Absolutely LOVED this book. I ate it up so fast. At no point did I know where it was going or what was going to happen- even when I thought I did. Literally could not put it down.

The dad in the book gave me some creeps when he inexplicably watched a child SHOWER. And it was never bought up again, which confused me and made me lose sympathy for the character almost, but I can also see it as a reflection of his generally flawed character

. All in all an incredible read- and for a DEBUT novel; I’ll be waiting for Lux’s next inpatiently.

Interesting concept, but not executed in the best way. Just too much going on, leaving the story feeling underdeveloped.

I loved the changing perspectives and timelines. Kept the story moving quickly. I didn’t see the twist coming at the end which was a pleasant surprise. I thought for sure I knew but totally wrong! Rated 4.75 just because the ending was slightly disappointing. Not bad, just… left me wanting more.
