Oh my goooooood, just finished this and holy shit. Holy shit. This is some good, fucked up shit. The next book is going to be a disaster and I am so ready. The plot was good, the writing was good, the pacing was decent (only felt slow in a couple places), the characters were amazing and the plot twists in the last 70 pages had me grinning. Phenomenal set up, perfect use of an unreliable narrator, and enough implied story telling to keep my brain going for days. Cannot recommend this enough. Definitely not YA though, feels more NA at times despite the age of the characters.
