I am so endlessly impressed with how this was written. There's only six chapters and each one is from a different character's perspective. We see the same event play out five different times, and each time feels just as thrilling as when we first learned about it.
The only thing keeping this book from being perfect was the second chapter, the only chapter to not go over the inciting incident and also the only chapter that bored me to almost DNFing. But I'm endlessly glad that I powered through it and finished the rest of the novel in two days. This was seriously unbelievable.
It was written by a housewife and ex-teacher in her spare time. That's so inspirational to me, as I'm trying to become a teacher. If someone's debut novel can be this expertly written and near perfect, and it was produced in their spare time, then I can create something great too, even if it takes a decade or more.
The changing perspective was something I haven't seen outside of Weapons. I absolutely adore the idea of going over the same story multiple times, and I think the novel I'm going to write is going to use this format. It makes every single moment so tense.
