This book started good but got stupider and stupider until a very silly end.
I can't praise this highly enough, there's suspense and a nice twist. Brilliant and well worth reading.
Maybe it's just my affinity for British culture and slang, but I loved this book. It was mysterious, intriguing, and at time hilarious. I loved the protagonist's attitude and her motherly rage rants when the situation became crazy. A great read.

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t have a clue was I just read. It was funny for sure, but the mystery is kinda confusing.

Lord. What in the world did I just read.
Trippy. Gothic. Mind games. And just too much going on to maintain suspension of disbelief. Like literally none of the characters felt like they could possibly be real.
430+ pages and all the time spent reading that, that I’ll never get back.

For some reason Justine and her family (husband and daughter) are moving to another city, and she is excited to not be working. As we move a few chapters into the book, we find out that Justine's daughter, Ellen is devastated that her friend (that no one knew about) George has been expelled. Also, Ellen has been working day and night on a short story assignment from school. Justine decides to visit the principal and finds out that George doesn't exist. So what does this mean?
Yes, what does this mean???!!! I read FOUR HUNDRED and SIXTY-FOUR pages and I have no clue what happened other than implausible fantasy or crazy Wonderland stuff. I can't even review this book because I don't know what is a spoiler! The positive is that Hannah writes well. After reading more reviews on this book - which are mixed - I think I want to try Hannah's series (Spilling CID) before making decisions on the author. I rarely say don't read the book - I feel like after you read my review you can judge if it's something you want to pursue - but this one I would say...read something else!
