Good god, this book was insane! I had a hard time picking a rating that felt accurate, because I cannot confidently say this was a good book, but I was captivated by the plot and I read it very quickly. There is not a moment during this book that something ridiculous isn’t happening. It was mysterious, intriguing, creepy, at times horrifying, and even sometimes funny. Many times while I was reading my jaw actually dropped in surprise at what was going on or at what someone said. With that said, essentially none of the characters in this book are likable. They almost all have faults that are very severe and the things these characters do and say to each other is shocking. This reads as a very messy soap opera and there are a lot of triggering themes in this book that I’ll list in the content warnings. Even characters I liked at the beginning turned out to be awful and the ending did not provide any sort of closure. In the end, I enjoyed the drama and mystery of this book, but be prepared that this book does not hold back.
