i liked their prior book a lot better, it just clicked more with me i guess than this one? which is kind of crazy because the premise of this one seemed to me like it would click more with me than the prior one. i didn't dislike it though, but it's hard to put into words why i didn't like it as much as the last one... felt like it needed more depth somehow?? maybe? i dunno. 

definitely spent the entire book wondering what happened to lucy (as i think we as readers are intended to) and the final reveal there was very effective and so, so sad.
