Did I take a month to finish this book… maybe!!! Did I think it was kinda slow, yet I’m rating it 5 stars?? Maybe!!! (I was in a reading slump and nothing could get me out of it.)

I really don’t feel like writing out a full review so this is all I have to say: My heart was shattered by the ending of this book. I should’ve expected it, the author is Libba Bray of all people. But I trusted everyone, I’m so oblivious!
