wow ok Viv is my new problematic fav??? Vivian is such a morally gray 17-year-old girl (but weren't we all morally gray at 17? cmon don't lie to yourself you totally did some questionable things as a teen) that I couldn't help but root for anyway. On the surface, she's pretty "unlikeable." She's vain, only seeming to care about her twitch follower count. She made a list of her classmates who were most likely to shoot up their school AND POSTED IT TO HER SOCIAL MEDIA (really uncool). She started rumors about a boy that further ostracized him from their peers. Worst of all, she lied about the circumstances of her baby sister's death. Once they learned the truth, the people in Viv's life were much more forgiving than I would have been (and I like to think I'm a fairly forgiving person, at least not someone who holds grudges).

At first I had trouble getting into the book, and I thought I might DNF it. But after the first 10 percent, I swear it becomes so fast-paced and bingeable. I couldn't believe how fast I flew through the rest of the book. I just had to know what happened next! You can feel Vivian's grief and guilt and pain through the page. It was so visceral.

Thanks to the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!
