Writing is phenomenal, great use of figurative language and descriptors, interesting themes about death and making the kost of life, interesting premise.

I kind of hate the characters. I hate Luke. I kind of hate Addie because she seems somewhat inhuman at the end. 

I like my stories more free and happy go lucky and this book is dark in a way that doesn't have a silver lining unfortunately.

I fucking hate that she ends up eith the abusive ex boyfriend. Fuck Luke he's such an asshole and fuck him for ruining her life. He just wants to torture her.

An very interesting plot, that was a very fun read (or listen). I personally didn't love the ending and it felt slightly a step back to the character growth in the book, however overall a very fun read!
