Seriously, this is a weird book. I feel like there was a concept there that was good, but then the author went and threw in all sorts of weird stuff. (view spoiler)[ I mean, Nazis and incest?! Seriously, one of those is PLENTY. 
 Also, I think the end makes sense in that Mabel was Ev's companion/babysitter, but it was just strange the whole time that Mabel thought Ev was her friend at all. I had no sense of anything resembling a friendship. Sometimes they snuggled? Sometimes they managed to have a conversation? 
 Just a bizarre book. I finished it mostly out of morbid curiosity... What insane thing will happen next? I actually liked the ending, but I really will never get over the weirdness of this book. (hide spoiler)]
