This book took a perfect turn from edge of your seat thriller, to somber reflection on mental illness. I believe that Hannah is the perfect character because she is imperfect, and therefore human. It was so beautifully tragic.

dark tense slow-paced

1.0

Was going to be a two-star rating until the ending, which I hated enough to drop it down a full star. Good writing and I was engaged enough to see where it was going, but the mental health rep felt...not great. Granted, I don't have psychosis, but it felt icky to me, personally.
