First of all I would jus like to say I love the attention to detail this has. Like the way it all connects in the end is amazing. At this point I’ve been staring at the wall for minutes just processing everything that happened. I never saw that coming and I still can’t believe it. I wanted to believe Alicia so much but so much pointed to her but wow ok- I- I’m at a loss of words. I can’t explain how amazing this book is. As things twist and turn I started to have different theories but I could’ve never gotten to the conclusion if they hadn’t just come out and said it at the end like they did. I would’ve never thought them to be who they are. I’m gonna need to take a few more minutes just to really let it sink in how good it actually is.
