I seriously can't tell whether i loved it or hated. Ive never been so conflicted about a book. I love morally grey characters and unreliable narrators and river is as morally grey and unreliable as you can get. I have so many opinions but no idea how to put into words... i wasnt keen on the writing style as it was super simple and it felt like the author was trying to be relateable and "act like a teenager" in a really unrealistic way. It read a little like fanfic and if it had been written by a different author with my preferred writing style it would have been a five star book!!
