To some of this book in one word, it would be chaos. I loved that the title of the book has more than one implication within the story, and I think that that is just brilliant. The dual point of views/timelines really set the scene for how this book comes to be. The friendship between the two main characters and how broken it is, is the central point, and to be honest I don’t know how their friendship lasted as long as it did. it was built one of the characters being stronger than the other, and this protection and lie that they had. In my opinion, there’s too many characters and the side characters don’t add to the story. That being said are too many characters are very messy and have a lot of trauma. The backstory of Billie actually destroyed me, and I had to stop reading at one point because I was so sick to my stomach.
