Once, I finally had this book I read it cover to cover without taking a break. There's lots of twists and turns, you really cannot predict with this one...well at times you can. The story has a good pace, but my only drawback was at times there are pages of information that had me wondering what is the purpose of this in here?-well thats what I thought to myself. I actually would skim through it- I know, how horrible of me! But, I really didn't care for the history of suicidal authors or nice bio about whales. I rather read about the creepy grandfather and what happen before the fire started. 
 Then ending was intense, I hope there is a sequel to this book- and this time I try searching online, but I didnt see any mention o a sequel. What happens to everyone ??!? Sorry, my imagination is not that great, I rather have it in writing. 
 The characters are really interesting, but I wonder how old is Mr.Anderson? I wish the author wrote more about him, I would love to read the story from his perspective. I don't understand what motives him to get involve with "his girls," I mean white knight or pedophile? Even at the end I didn't know how to feel about him, was everything he said and did a lie to get what he wanted? 
 There are many other characters that we learn about and each as interesting. We meet Danielle, your typical hs bully- I felt really bad for her and I still am not 100% sure of what was going on with her, but if the little hints we get is true- wow. I can go on and on about the other characters, but I still cannot say what was real or a lie.
