this book was SO good. i finished it one day, every twist and turn was unexpected, the writing was paced perfectly and detailed well. the author managed to tell a heartbreaking story, create in-depth characters, and include clues & twists all throughout this book - i highly recommend reading this.

I hated this book. I hated the characters. I hated the writing style. I hated so much about it. The story has potential, but it was so poorly executed. I donated this to a Little Free Library because I didn't want it anymore.
