Wow! Okay, this book had me reeling. I’m a pretty big chicken, so i started this in broad daylight.. and finished it mere hours later. 

The deeper into the story you get, the more skeletons you get from the story.. and the more unreliable the narrator you’re leaning on becomes.. 

I like how it highlights a lot of mental health issues and has a piece at the end for awareness. Lisa Matlin is courageous for sharing her piece, and i applaud her for it!

I was not expecting the ending one bit! Even though i was sad, i also remain curious about the after..
