Finished reading this just now, so my thoughts are still jumbled up a bit. Definitely think this is gonna be one of the more notable ones I've read & still will be reading this year - I would really like to just ramble about this book, but I sadly can't as it would ruin the experience; but what I can say is that whatever you're expecting this book will be about, you're very likely wrong.
The reason I didn't give it 5 Stars even though I'm liking it so much & it's one of the books I completed more quickly than usual, is because I found some of the lines a little cheesy (not as in cute-cheesy, but more as in look-at-how-dark-and-edgy-i-am-cheesy). This felt a bit exaggerated & kind of pulled me out of the story at times.
Other than that: this book includes dark themes, also goes into their details. So if you're a more squeamish person I would advise against reading it. And to everyone else, happy reading. ;)
