I decided to find a random book with my library while I was waiting for my audiobook to be available this was one of the immediately available options and I'm so glad I went with it, I loved this book. The main character is witty and hilarious, the second to last chapter made me cry. Also had a plot twist I wasnt expecting

I waited for the social machine to die down before reading this on purpose since I've been sucked in before but I was pleasantly surprised by the book.

Anderson, I think, had fun with this since I was laughing from the first chapter and throughout the book thanks to the wit in her main character Mila mostly but each character has some moments.

Having experienced loss of loved ones, I felt a lot of what Mila felt. The turbulent emotions that go from grief to anger, hopelessness, and a myriad of what-if's that I had, she did too, but in her case, she was able to bring back her BFF and in the process two more girls that while unexpected turn out to be a good thing that lead me to a surprise twist that I didn't see coming.

I really enjoyed this book, but the ending wasnt my favorite. I liked the magic/necromancy and how some of the interpersonal relationships grew and changed. But some of the main characters can be a little frustrating or annoying at times.
I will say the "whodunnit" took me by surprise.

The best part is Dayton. She’s what kept me hanging on. The rest of the main characters aren’t really likeable. I really didn’t like Mila hardly at all. There were very few parts that really kept me going. And a lot of scenes were kind of unnecessary. The “twist” was pretty easy to call.

<spolier> the ending of the book is definitely a selling point i would say, one of the best plot twist that i have read in a while, even though you could kinda sense it, i feel like it still was a shocker cause you where hoping that it wouldn't be true
