This was fine. Cool concept. Kind of lost interest and felt not much after, but still liked reading. I am so scared of children.

Every part offered a unique perspective on the same situation with its own set of new, disturbing details. By the end, I was left with an uncomfortably complex view of what happened without any progress toward forming an opinion on it. This story lives in the gray area.
I also can't get over how satisfying this book is. Details are tied to each other in ways that are often unpredictable (at least to me), but the author gives plenty of opportunities for the reader to piece together the newest details before showing the answer. From the perspective of structure, this book is a very satisfying example of how to stitch details together.
In short: Read this!

I really wanted to like this. I've heard amazing things about the plot and twists the story takes. Don't get me wrong this book is a rollercoaster, but I wasn't invested. If you need to relate to characters to be invested (like I do) this is not a book for you.
