enjoyed this way more than i expected!
this book is very dark and twisted, and the characters are so complex it was always so hard to understand everything they did or said.
and i personally love when a book makes me THINK, and develop theories on why the characters in the story are acting the way that they are and stuff like that, i literally could not stop writing my thoughts on the margins of the book. loved it.
