I really liked this book! I've read another of this author's books "All the Dangerous Things" and while I liked that one better, this one was also good. I will say that I didn't really like the characters too much. They were extremely well written, but the main character really annoyed me and made some really bad decisions as the story went on, and it wasn't really in an "unreliable narrator" way like I would have actually enjoyed. The story was extremely compelling though and I found myself not wanting to put it down.
