YEESH, what a horrible, twisty, downright NASTY easter egg hunt of a book. I didn't know I'd end up with a readalike that blended summer, fireworks, and my corpse and the laws of the skies together so soon after reading both. I need a long bath.

Everyone is damaged and nobody is a saint here. It feels like you’re going in circles over and over because each chapter has a different person telling their point of view about the same incident but each time it reveals something deeper and darker and truly horrific.

This book wasn't what I expected and it kept surprising me. They handled a few topics in ways I wasn't the biggest fan of, but overall it was written in and interesting way and I didn't see the twists coming.
