lowercasekate's review against another edition

challenging dark sad medium-paced

Creatively presented. Very dark plot. I didn’t know Tumblr could be a place of such…slop for teenagers to consume. 

I struggled with wrapping my head around the modern way in which the teenagers spoke while them being in a past timeline. It took me out of the plot at several points. 

This book is heavy and full of plot points that may be triggering to some, although they are done tasteful, and I assume are well researched. 

EC has such a gift. I will definitely be reading her backlist along with her future titles.
