4.0

4.0⭐️I wish the ‘monster’ part was pulled more into the middle, it seemed to get lost and then picked back up at the end. I loved this story and have some amazing quotes from it, but the ending felt sooooo rushed and coincidental. Idk if that’s how I would describe it. The ending was so ‘happy’ that it seemed unrealistic and fake. That especially applies to the mom part. I feel like leaving the ending at the incident would have made such a bigger statement/impact.

I don’t really have any words to describe the relationships depicted in this book other than the fact that they felt so real. I need to think about this book a little bit longer, but I think the quotes speak for themselves and do a much better job explaining than I could.
