Mara Wilson's blurb on the front of the book says it all: "Funny, frank, insightful, and incisive." The perfect balance of heavy and light.
Dark and twisted and disturbing. I loved it.
Interesting concept and it gets off to a good start, but...I don't know. Mia didn't feel like a fully realized character to me. It's hard to root for someone you think is being reckless.
This started off weird, quickly went off the rails, and just kept getting more insane. None of that was in a good way.
Like The Kill Club, this was dark and twisted and disturbing and I loved it. Just when I thought things wrapped up a little too neatly, my only real complaint, there was a twist that made it better.
For a novel described as "twisty," there sure weren't that many twists. It would have benefited from more.
