Really flushed out and believable characters. Switched POVs and found myself routing for everyone (expect you-know-who).
Was very disappointed at the end. Wow, the real killer was a young boy's devotion to his mentally ill mother? Ground breaking. Idk, it's obviously tragic and unfortunately does happen, but to have Alice so mistreated by her family and then in some ways fulfill their expectations of her by being "bad" for Bear was just very unsatisfying to me, personally.
