This book absolutely mind-fucked me. The twist was something I never expected. This book did take me over a month to read due to academic responsibilities, but I was drawn back in knowing that my best friend wanted to talk about the twist with me. Once I got to Part Five, I had to put the book down and just think about everything that happened. The timeline, the characters, the reasons why characters did certain things, everything. A fantastic book.
