It took a moment to really get used to the format the story was told in but once I was there it totally worked. The handful of characters with different perspectives and opinions really helped keep things mysterious. The truth is none of them seem to know for sure what happened. There’s no telling what they chose not to mention. It’s frustrating but unsettling. 

I do wish the ending had remained a little more vague. There was a marvelously horrible moment towards the end that I sort of wish that things had ended on.
