4.0

This was a very unusual book. It's part small-town mystery and critique of misogyny and part survival adventure story where you don't know who to trust. The characters are dynamic and strange and it's hard to imagine them being real but also so easy to picture them in your mind given the skillful writing. 

If you liked I Am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall or you're looking for a YA book unlike any other, Some Kind of Animal might be just what you're looking for.
