I think this one is somewhere between a 4 and 4.5! I really enjoyed this, I read the whole thing in an hour. It's only 117 pages, but it didn't feel too short to me! The concept of this is really interesting; every time Molly bleeds, an identical molly is born and will try to kill her. You're definitely not left knowing all the answers, but I felt satisfied with the direction the story went. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick and exciting read!

 The premise was interesting, but I couldn’t connect to the writing; it was distant and occasionally crude, but couldn’t say period or menstruation, for whatever reason, which was irritating. The opening was intriguing, but Molly felt very flat throughout the entire thing.

Interesting idea for a story. Every page kept my interest up and I just wanted to read more and more. It was short and very quick to read.
I need to check other books from Thompson.

And remember "Don't bleed"
