4.0

I loved the writing in this book, the haunted images of pretty girls floating in the river, the complexity of the characters, the way if the past is left unresolved it ends up repeating itself. I found the relationship hard to stomach, but I guess that's the point. It leaves you to make your own decision about who the villains are.
