This book is absolutely brimming with suspense and atmosphere. It's creepy and it stayed with me when I tried to sleep, but I could not stop picking it up and reading more.
Literally nothing is as it seems, and this is where the story gets so clever. I can't say more because it's vital to go into it knowing as little as possible. But it's the kind of book I want to read again to pick up on all the clues I must have missed.
I have no experience of the subjects that are tackled, but I hope they have been handled sensitively and the author's note backs this up - but don't read it until you've finished the book!
