I read this book this month for the book club that I run and I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I went in with no expectations and went in pretty much blind. I'm not sure what I anticipated on reading, but this was so much more than that! I will say, I probably wouldn't read it again, though I would recommend it to anyone that likes books where you sit there not really knowing what's happening or why its happening. From one chapter to the next, I had 0 clue of where things would end up. I'd say that the ending is fitting to the story, oddly so, but I am sad in some ways about how it ended for one of the characters (if you've read the book, you know who I'm talking about probably). It's personally not my style of book, but it was engaging, entertaining, and was a solid read all around. I will say that I HIGHLY recommend checking the triggers on this book before reading (IYKYK).
