This book had some really interesting information but it was really hard to get through. The story had a ton of time jumps and names to remember. It did make me think a lot on its tagline: “who owns the past?”

Started off with the classic “kid starts to draw creepy pictures of imaginary friend” trope, but had lots of interesting twists. Unfortunately some of the plot seemed really rushed at the end of the book
