I really loved the idea of the book and it was definitely okayish written. However the entire plot turned out to be rather irrational and the ending was just really disappointing to me.

Amazing and definitely a page turner but that ending made me want to throw the book across the room

3.5 stars. The .5 is the ending alone. A lot of the writing was repetitive, lots of people “standing up straighter”, and I do wish the creepy factor was amped up a bit, but that was a really good ending that I didn’t see coming. If it had been a little bit stronger throughout, I would have loved it. But I did like it and I’ll read more by the author for sure.

Dear god I hated the dialogue in this book. I know it’s YA but 16 and 17 year olds don’t talk to each other like that. Not a fan.
