This was so good. The themes are relevant, current, and true. Juniper is the perfect villain—evil, lonely, and self-absorbed. Her rambling reminds you how insane she really is, and helps you to feel like you’re actually in her head. It feels good to see her reach her downfall, but the ending is just open enough to leave you wondering if she’ll recover from it.
