i’m not even sure what to say or think after reading this. it was so good in such a thrilling way, and made me anxious to continue reading at times because i was scared of what might happen. the storyline really tricks you but also the characters in a way and you carry this lingering feeling of uncertainty throughout the book that isn’t really even resolved because the book ends on a cliffhanger and there’s no definitive ending.
i’m gonna have to read the sequel, Dead Happy soon because omg. i don’t know what to think.
took quarter of a star off only because the lack of certainty really gave me a sense of dread lmao 💀 and the story was quite confusing in parts.
