I loved reading this book, loved these two characters and their mom spinning away from each other and back again and trying to understand why it all keeps happening and what they want. It’s got a propulsive pace and a gentle looming sense of dread (not like, Karen Russell level), and the exchanges between Poppy and Jules are *perfect*. 

But I guess I’ve read too many books lately that have cliffhangery endings (the bee sting, the guest), and I’m over it. It doesn’t feel earned here. That said, I loved the rest of the book.
