I don't know what to feel about this book. I appreciate the pov weirdness. It was my first time reading a book in second person. I had always intended to but put it off, this one kept coming up in my tbr what-to-read next random picker spinner and so I chose to give it a try. It was mysterious to a degree and the 2nd person narrative added the mood but after a while it followed a lot of cliches and the supporting characters felt hollow and left me feeling very underwhelmed and without many good thoughts about it. Honestly the 2nd person pov was the adhesive keeping this flimsy story together. And it's not like I was expecting something, I was honestly head empty no thoughts throughout and it was still without much substance to me. I did like the explanation of who was behind the hunt of “Sunny” (aka me?). Wasn't expecting the death game stuff with a twist and I liked that. Most of the time anything “rich people are f*cked” earns your story cool points with me. But that's about it with this book. Don't get me started on the romance. Blegh! I really didn't dnf'd it bc it was short and I wanted to add a book to my November wrap-up. I don't know if I wanna read the sequel.
