I will say however, in the beginning the themes of grief and loss were interesting and gave me hope to see that grow (too bad that hope was misplaced), the one plot twist had me lurching, and I liked the ties to Greek mythology

Camille was faulted for killing 0001/Wendy/Dianne's daughter was a little underwhelming for me. It sorta fell flat. And I'm sorry but I absolutely adored Camille and Luke friendship so the fact that she went out like that and he thinks she committed suicide makes me upset.Graphic: Grief, Murder, Death, and Violence

⁕ This is a book for those who want an easy, weekend binge read. It's not the masterpiece of the decade by any means, but goodness is it hard to put down.
⁕ Gaylin presents a surprisingly in-depth analysis of anger and revenge in the face of grief. She does not try to entertain forgiveness, rather she explores the reality of taking vengeance to the extreme and the consequences of doing so (bonus points because it's from the perspective of a woman).
⁕ I could not have predicted the ending (which was awesome), but it was very outlandish and a little nonsensical (which was maybe a little less awesome).
