Ummm…..that ending really threw me lol. I found the first half really slow but I eventually got invested after Reiko’s story. She was definitely my favorite character. The characters did feel pretty real for the most part. The book can be quite sad and shocking at times so I recommend reading the list of triggers before reading.
