It's 4am and I just finished binge reading this book and I honestly don't even know what I read. 3/5 stars because it was interesting (?) enough to keep me reading until I finished the book but wtf was that ending?

Jules obviously plays a big role and the author tries to hide that in the beginning but at least give the readers some time with his character before the big reveal.

Nora. Fucking Nora. Sometimes I wanted to bash my head in because she was just so stupid. The choices she made and the rationale behind everything. And her lack of care that she might be going crazy because of her hallucinations. And her mom! Another thing that's annoying about many YA books is the lack of a real parental figure, her mother is only there when it's convenient for the author.

On a positive note, unlike many YA books that have a popular bitchy girl, the one in this book wasn't completely annoying but that's probably due to the author barely mentioning the character.

Patch was ... somewhat likable in his dark and intriguing way. I know I said Nora was stupid but I can see why she was attracted to him AT FIRST. Once shit hits the fan, you usually don't trust the man who's a likely suspect. I think he also made a rape joke at one point so that's obviously a negative.

Overall I'm not sure how to feel. I'll sleep on it and have a better idea when I wake up.
