This book reminds me so much of an adult version of Dark and Shallow Lies, but with a much more solid ending.
I thought every character, of which there were more than I was anticipating, was well developed and their individual "lore" kept my attention throughout the book.
The ending was also phenomenal. I love some far-out personal growth AND we got a cute lil HEA.
The only drawback I have was with Catfish's storyline. I really wish her history was more involved so I had a chance to feel connected to her character in life, instead of just focusing on the tragic way she died. I can't get on board with the expectation that readers are just supposed to believe that great love/loss was the genesis for her whole story without being able to see really any of it.
