The beginning was a little confusing has you try to figure out was going on and so much weird stuff starts happening that you are like Belle saying “that’s not normal, that’s not cool”. It really picked up for me past the middle of the book and from there I couldn’t put it down and just wanted my two questions answered.
Which brownie points to the author, cause she did answer them. The ending did not surprise me much and it did wrap up very nicely. No loose ends.

This book is a bit complicated. The ending plot twists help explain the main character's actions throughout, but without knowing them it seems as if the main character has no issue with the things happening to her and around her. It does an amazing job slowly delving more and more into the past giving you just enough information each time to understand another piece of the puzzle without fully knowing everything. However, the way the book deals with certain triggering topics comes across as very casual and with no regard for the severity of them. Additionally, the traumatic events are never fully dealt with in the book and simply exist in the background before eventually disappearing, or in one case are used to villify a character. There was a lot of potential with this book but I felt it missed the mark at almost every point.
