Thank you so much to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC; it is greatly appreciated.
This is one of those books where you might not fully understand what the hell was happening, but it was still an enjoyable time. You have to think and pay attention while you're reading here, or you can easily get lost in the plot. The main character, Amy, is an unreliable narrator, so the reader learns truths as she does.
The writing in this book is so vivid and colorful. I could easily picture the scenes, and I rather enjoyed the way they flowed into each other. As a reader I felt as confused as Amy did, so it's easy to understand Amy's emotions and reactions. You truly go on a journey with Amy.
It is common for books like this to have an ambiguous ending, but that actually is not the case here. We find out exactly what happens to everyone in the end, and why it happened. (Although that part is definitely the most confusing aspect) You need to go into this story with an open imagination, and I can see how this book won't be for everyone, but it's a solid entry in the genre.
