This was so much fun to read! I loved the horror/echo part of the story. It was so intriguing, creepy, and tense. This was very well-paced, and I couldn’t put it down at times. It had so much history and care when talking about difficult topics. Overall, a very interesting and fun story. My main reason for 3.5 stars is just because I’m growing out of the way that ya books are written. So many ya books have amazing plots, but I’m over the language and dialogue especially in ya books. This is just my preference, and it doesn’t mean the book is poorly written. Ya books are written differently for their audience - teens, so, of course, it’s off putting for me because I’m not the intended audience. Anyways, really good read with such a fun plot!
