This book had me crying, laughing, and in absolute shock. That's not something that most books I've ever read do, especially not all together. For sure 5 stars.

I absolutely loved this book, and found it so easy to get into. I loved the main character and the world that Owens created around her. I wish I could go through the first read all over again!

Changes time setting and tone between a murder investigation and day to day survival. I found the bled difficult and the structure could've been utilised better.
