Certainly was a book. Listen, I could see what the author was trying to do but this was just ridiculous. Not actively bad but not good at all. The most engaging part was me genuinely scared for my life that

Juliette and the old man were going to kiss

If you asked me if I liked this book 300 pages in I would have said no. Honestly this book sucked. Boring and gross and depressing. But Mafi manages to once again make a full recovery in the end. I even cried. I hate to say it but the end was so sweet the whole gross Anderson thing seems less offensive.

antjeliest's review against another edition

<Spoiler> I just couldn’t stand Ella/Juliette being drawn to Anderson. That is not right. This whole story line with her being a puppet and Anderson magically coming back to life all the time. So disgusting. It destroyed the whole story for me.
