I found the book really engaging and an enjoyable read. I’ll note it works really well as an audiobook, which isn’t always the case. I don’t understand why Becca met the fate that she did. Also, I cried when they mentioned the statue with the forget me nots at the end. She is a character I was sad to not see more development of, especially when reading the secret files.
