This was a fantastic book I've had the pleasure of reading twice. A fantastic job from SK bringing these likeable characters to life, even if it is told through the lens of one character. It makes you feel upset, hurt, touched, giddy, calm, and (the best part, considering SK books) satisfied with the ending. This is a fantastic book filled with details that bring you into the story, without it feeling heavy or bloated. Just a great book to give you all the feels. You will be rooting for Dolores and those pages will just fly by. This is gripping and a serious page turner. This is not your standard SK book, so don't expect all the spooks you are used to. I give this book a SOLID 4.5/5. That's not to say this is lacking, but it is a simple book with a straight forward story... not a perfect 5/5, but still fantastic.
