This is such a great book. It is both full of scares and gore, but also full of heartfelt moments and it has me all emotional. It follows Jess, a waitress and aspiring actress. Her father has recently died and she is trying to process his death and the fact that he was abandoned her when she was a child. When she finds a boy who ran away from his father, she makes the decision to run away with him. However Jess soon realizes that the boy can change reality which is even worse when he's scared. Also the image of someone being ripped apart and how it's compared to rotisserie chicken will forever stay in my mind. I adore this book so much and I am definitely gonna read it again.
