This book was wild, to say the least. I was intrigued with the concept but felt a little lost towards the end. Definitely not my favorite book, but it was not a bad book by any means. It’s different from any other book I’ve read before, and I enjoyed being able to branch out in this way! 

Make sure to check CWs for this one as there is a lot of triggering material.
