HOLY COW!!!!

This book is about a young girl, Claudia, who is searching for her best friend, Monday, after not hearing from her in a long time. 

I did not expect to love this book as much as I do! Read this right now! 

It features an unreliable narrator with time jumps that might confuse you until the final chapter when it’s not confusing anymore! The plot twist was so not expected and made the way the book was formatted make so much sense.

This was dark and harrowing and, at times, absolutely heart-breaking, but such a powerful book and one I raced through because I had to know how it was going to end.

I don't have the words to explain how incredible this book was and how it impacted me. All I will say is that it was a harrowing and masterfully written story that gripped me from beginning to end.
