This book!!! Now while I normally don't like a slow paced book in summer, I adore books with back story, throw in mystery, feels, magical realism, mental health representation, with retellings and you have my heart!
There are themes that you will want to be careful of but with the rate of bullying increasing with social media now. I think this is something that is so important to read.
The plot twists were ones that I got a feeling about but couldn't even guess until the last moment. Now as this was a translation to english as always there were some flaws but not enough to jerk you out. I will be shoving this book on everyone and getting my own copies soon. I cannot wait for the movie adaptation and am so glad this book was written!
