xander09's review against another edition

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

not for those looking for light hearted reads. some content warnings: this book is heavy on the death and murder, not graphic but keep that in mind. lots of mental illness (implied? we don’t really know since it’s an unreliable narrator) parental neglect, toxic relationships and drug/substance abuse. overall solid 4.25 stars, not a huge fan of unreliable narrators but pretty good storytelling
