  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

The themes?? The parallels?? The motifs??? This is what literature is about baby!!

This book was engaging and interesting and creepy and I loved every minute of it!

This is also a book that I had to sit with for a while bc while the plot is simple there's so much going on that makes you wanna question and analyze everything. 

I did also like the pacing of the book going from one characters pov to the next without it being distracting and the villian of the story??? I loved her so much and she did nothing wrong!

The only reason why this is 4.5 and not 5 stars is bc I got lost in some bits. Especially during the scenes where the author would describe the motorcycles and the character playing basketball for pages on it. I understand why he chose to do that but it did confuse me and I wasn't expecting it. 

Anyways yeah I would definitely recommend this book to others!
