I did not like this. I read it really fast because it was easy to read and had big letters but I didn't enjoy it.

There was no plot in this book. It felt like nothing was happening the entire time. The ending was really strange and it didn't make much sense either.

The characters were really superficial and weren't realistic at all. They had no depth to them.

I wouldn't recommend you read this book. It was boring and sort of repetative. I couldn't even tell you what was going on because it was a whole lot of nothing.

Honestly I'm super impressed with the complexity of such a short book. It was absolutely captivating and I found myself much sadder than I thought I'd be when it finished. Would 100% read this again in the future. Perfect mix of horror, teen angst/growth, complex decisions and human error. Loved the time skips as well, made the story flow naturally and kept the reader (myself) on the edge of my seat waiting to see what she did next.
