Well the first 75% of the book had the potential to build to something brilliant but the ending was contrite and the epilogues were extra nails in the coffin. Disappointing really, I had much higher hopes for this novel.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, Death of parent, Stalking, and Murder
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Vomit, and Bullying
Minor: Blood and Mass/school shootings
