It Will End Like This by Kyra Leigh

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC for an honest review.
I took some time to let this book marinate a bit, because I honestly had no idea how to review it once I was done reading it. This book did the unreliable narrator very well, as I wasn't sure entirely if Charlotte OR Maddi were telling the truth. I think the truth was how the perceived it. Their dad was absolutely the worst human being under the planet, even worse than Amber who clearly was just some dumb young woman who got caught up by an older man. My heart broke for Charlotte and Maddi, and you could see how grief and depression really took their toll on both of them. That is where the book really shined. The writing felt off, disjointed at times, and I'm not sure if that was on purpose or just from the book not being edited. I wanted to really like this book, and I think if the writing felt more smooth, I probably would have given this four stars.
