Holy shit.
I don't even know how to say everything I'm feeling. I went into this book blind and let me say it didn't disappoint. The only thing I had heard was that she got into a mental hospital and he got himself put in there too, but I guess that's another book. I won’t be sleeping tonight, that's for sure. This was so interesting, and I didn't know that it was going into the fantasy thriller magic death thoughts. Maybe it's not, and she actually is murdering things and forgetting. Maybe she is crazy. Well, she is crazy but I love her. I was so confused for the last quarter of the book until she confessed everything to him. Then I felt crazy I was going insane from this book in the best way. When I was halfway done, I ordered the rest of the series, so hopefully, I can finish that. ALSO wtf why is Jude alive. Also, is he? It's like when we found out that (a character from 4th wing) was actually alive. A big wtf moment. I loved this book, tho. The whole thing with the brother being taken had me thinking she was hallucinating it and in the middle of nowhere by herself. I was freaking out. Pls read this but also this book might fuck with your head. I feel more mentally ill then before I started but I'm intrigued and I hope she kills more fucked up people. Fuck the Spanish teacher but the fact that she was trying to not laugh after she died had me so concerned. Like she should be in that hospital...
