Ahhh this was such an interesting book! So suspenseful and captivating. The story is so mysterious and heart-wrenching, and the characters are fascinating. I really didn’t know if I was going to like this one since it’s out of my comfort zone— but it was amazing! The only “complaint” I have is that sometimes details were over explained, and I think the book could’ve been 20 pages less just by taking out over-descriptiveness.

Overall really liked it. Was a very fast and enjoyable read. The chapters from Noelle were so uncomfortable to read. I also found Laurel to be really slow in putting pieces together which was frustrating but kept me reading. I did like that Laurel was flawed. Reminded me a bit of the lovely bones.

Loved this book! The plot was immensely interesting, a real page-turner. Prepare for sadness, though; it has really dark themes, not an easily digestable book.
