mann, this book!!!! it was just so good!!! it's been a hot minute since I've read something so intriguing and I've actually gotten so into it that i didn't even rush it which we know it's a miracle. usually when i love a book i tend to eat it up faster that my cat when she hasn't eaten anything for 2 hours but this time! I'm so glad that i read it slowly, enjoying every second of it.
i don't think i can comprehend everything that happened in the book but man, the way it tricks you into thinking, rummaging in your brain as to what is going to happen!!!! incredible to me. i think i knew what was going to happen in the end but i was still left out with my mouth hanging open for a solid minute there. I'm so scared of forgetting the whole plot because it was immaculate, oh my god. and i hate when my mind does these things but i would love to read it again. one part maybe wasn't my favourite and that was the too graphic intercourse between many of the characters. they were pretty vulgar but the story was just that good and it doesn't affect my star rating, lol.
amazing!!!!!!! it's my new fav book!!!
