Why am I crying over a horror book? Why do I want a happy ending? This book was slow paced but had an insidious tone. I both enjoyed and dreaded reading it because I wanted to know what was going to happen but the pace was so slow I felt like I might be disappointed at the end. I shouldn't have doubted Kiersten White. This is my second book that I've read that is written by her and while the first one I read was a faster pace it had similar vibes: there's more to what's going on here than you are originally lead to believe. This book had me questioning the reality of the world the characters were inhabiting, the other people they interacted with and even the reality of who they thought they were. The pacing does pick up about halfway through the book but its only faster compared to the previous part of the book. I've never read a book that I liked this much that I took this many voluntary breaks from it to absorb what I just read and to try to analyze what I've read so far.
