While I appreciated the way the author built the atmosphere, the first half of the book is glacially paced. The second half does move faster – never fast, but faster.
I really did like the idea of the book, even though the big surprise is evident very early in the book. By the time it’s revealed, you’re kind of like…yes, but what now?
Overall, it’s a good book with good ideas, and should please folks who appreciate a chilling atmosphere and slower world building. Maybe I just wasn’t quite in the mood?
So, I’m going to warn you that much of the behavior in this book is toxic. It’s an uncomfortable reminder that many humans are simply trash.

The book is good. Although there’s teen angst to the 1 bajillionth degree, there’s a palpable undercurrent of heartbreak, violence and real life horrors.
I loved our main character. I also wanted to wrap her up in bubble wrap or something so that she’d be protected. I also loved her father – that’s a nice change because so many of these books feature worthless parents. He’s not perfect, but he’s loving and he tries so hard.
The description of the book is accurate, but it’s not really what the book is about. I wish I could say more without spoiling it. I’ll just say that you might not get exactly what you came for, but you’ll likely be very satisfied with what you get.
Much of the book made me unhappy – and highly vengeful – but I enjoyed the read!
