My brain could not wrap my head around what exactly happened in this book, but at the same time, I somewhat enjoyed the ride. Justine's family dynamic with Ellen and Alex is great and their supporting each other throughout the plot was nice to see. I got really confused because I did not know who to trust and I think the author did a really great job at that. To be honest, I wish there were more to Anne Donvaband's side of the story. The buildup was amazing, but the payoff wasn't great in my opinion. It was a lot of information since Hannah included two different written stories in one book, which is an interesting concept, but it was a lot to take in. I personally wanted Anne's backstory to be more dark.
