I feel weird about this book. Maybe because it was touted as "THE NEXT GONE GIRL" etc etc I was expecting something more sinister (?????) on the main character's end. Don't get me wrong (view spoiler)[school shootings (hide spoiler)] are anything but happy. But the writing was so great in the beginning of the novel that the reveal almost felt like a let down. Saying that, I did enjoy the book overall. The subject matter is topical and important and the writing was very engaging.
