I wasn't entirely sure about this book when I first picked it up. But I liked that the chapters were short enough that I could read multiple in one go without feeling like I was reading a massive amount.

I think the premise of Monsters threw me off a little bit because I didn't know what to expect from that, but once that became clear I loved it. When things were revealed about different characters towards the end of the book, I was surprised, but I'm not entirely sure why I was, because when it was said it felt obvious from the signs.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable book, the characters were well written and I really liked them, especially the way the emotions felt real and the responses to situations throughout the story felt accurate to how someone might feel.
