I was addicted to this book but reading very slowly because of the subject matter. Is it unhealthy how much I want Q to go through with her plan? I would enjoy the whole book just being… that but it’s also predicable (since it’s YA) that there will be no gruesome murder and I know such things aren’t healthy coping mechanisms. 

But this was very calmly and quietly good. Brilliantly written. Not too painful but also well done. I would definitely recommend. 

I liked all of the main characters and it is so easy to get swept along with all of their narratives. And I think, quite realistic? Kind of depressingly so, in that it didn’t leave me elated, it just left me with a feeling that it all could have happened. All is happening. Over and over again. 

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!
