This book was SAUCY. I devoured it. The plot was so delicious and I couldn’t stop reading. I had an overwhelming sense of dread for the last half of the book in the way only Sara Gran can make me feel—I read Come Closer last year which is a phenomenal read

The ending is the only thing stopping this from being 4.5 stars. A not super spoil-y spoiler, just my thoughts about the ending:
It felt anticlimactic and Lily deserved better.
