I have such mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it was compulsively readable and really wrenched at my emotions. On the other hand, the big twist and the last few chapters felt strangely empty? It felt just slightly like the author had worked herself into a bit of a corner and didn't quite know how to get out of that spot. I was also hoping for a more meaningful reason for what was going on, I guess, but I also recognize that this is a YA book, so it was never gonna be as "deep" as I desired (then again, there are some YA books with really deep, nuanced themes, this just wasn't one of them). I did really enjoy this book on an entertainment level, but I suppose the last chunk of the book just made it all feel kinda empty for me. I'd say read if you're specifically looking for a YA readalike for Addie Larue, but don't expect any kind of big messages or deeper-than-surface themes.
