I really enjoyed the first third of the book. It reminded me thematically of Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma. However, I felt that the story dragged in the middle and then slowed to a crawl by the end. A twisty suspense novel such as this should speed up in pacing as it reaches the climax, not slow down like an antique Dodge Dart badly in need of an oil change attempting to traverse a hill.
