3.5-4 stars until the ending elevated it to a 4.5. This could be a book the sticks with me king after I've physically moved on.
Comparing it to the movie "Mysterious Skin" is, I think, an apt comparison.

Perhaps it shouldn’t have, but the twist at the end really got me, I didn’t see it coming. Perhaps it’s because it took me like 3 months to read and I had to keep checking it out from the library. Even though the character’s identity was not even close to me, I couldn’t help but feel close and feel their deep flaws and feelings.

Something I never expected.  Soo slow and eerie.  It’s just wow twist and turns that jerked me around then the final twist took me out.
