Um…. Huh???? Did I devour this book in 1 day? Yes. Did it keep me engaged and wondering? Yes!! Was it unhinged? 1,000x yes!!! I don’t even know where to start. Like, I think it’s one thing to throw some doubt into the plot but the ending was so confusing I immediately googled it and nobody else understood it either. 
It was not satisfying. I think there were too many elements that are left open, some of which just seem unnecessary.

Feeney’s casual writing style and ominous fortune cookie slip phrases make the pages turn fast, as usual. however, this is her debut, and the writing is not as good as in her more recent books.

I dislike reveals that are basically

”bitches be crazy”

, hate

rape

used as a plot device, and there also was not much lead-up to some parts of the explanation. I liked the very end, but then the very very end ruined it for me bc I find

ambiguous “hehe they might still be alive” cliffhanger

cheap.

most English language books I read are American, so a British one is a nice change of pace. I liked seeing all the Britishisms!
