This book is SMART in so many ways, kudos to the author. The protagonist (if you call her that?) is such an interesting, yet frustrating person to follow along as you watch everything come together and wait for the inevitable unfurl. If you're reading this to see if you want to read it, GO READ IT! I also was surprised by, yet welcomed the use of psychological horror, it reminded me a lot of perfect blue!
