4.5

This was a lot of fun and kept me thoroughly engrossed. Certainly not the same vibes as Henry’s current books, but for a YA it was dark and twisty and gritty. There’s a lot of hope woven into a pretty tragic tale. Would recommend.

I wanted to like this book, but somewhere around the halfway mark, I started to lose interest. Maybe it’s because of the theme (see summery), but the plot felt predictable and the character growth didn’t seem nearly as drastic as the narrator keeps telling us it was.
