Would be a great movie! This book reads like a movie I need to see. And if I had the money I'd make it happen just for me to see. The ways in which Octavia is mind works should be studied bc no matter how many of her books I've read so far I either scream out loud or repeat in my head multiple times "WTF OCTAVIA???????" Bc literally what the eff? These characters were all so different but so similarly demented I just couldn't deal. I kept telling my husband I've never wanted to finish a book so bad but not bc it wasn't good I NEEDED to see what happened. And I still didn't see the ending coming. This book was good!
