challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

- I enjoyed figuring out the mystery in this one and was genuinely surprised by some twists 
- You can tell that they author put time and care into the source material since this was a heavy subject 
- I think if this book was trimmed down just a hair it would have been a 5 stars for me. Some parts seemed to drag which overshadowed the really amazing elements of this powerful story 
- I appreciated that the ending seemed like that’s what would happen in real life given the situation
