I really enjoyed the creepy vibes of this story, but I think perhaps I wasn’t the intended audience. It’s very…teenagery, which like, yeah, it’s a young adult book. But it’s also very drenched in the complexes and arrogance of the stereotypical 15-16 year old. 

I enjoyed it, though! I like Maeve and her inability to express her feelings. I also liked Fiona, she was fun and made it a little more lighthearted. 

I may or may not pick up the sequel.
