This book. Wow.  The writing was incredible. It left me in tears and had the hair rising on my arms so many times.  The short chapters kept you on you toes, guessing and unsure, and also DEEPLY invested.  The perfectly honed dynamics between the different characters, the perfect pace and storytelling technique.  The confusing atmosphere of loss and hope, determination and fear (of both the past, of failure and the possibility of what happens NEXT) was fantastic. I don't want to spoil ANYTHING as I went in pretty blind and I was blown away.  This book is gut wrenching and amazing and like nothing I've read before.  This is a new favorite author for me!

Note: though the book has a high page count, it has SHORT chapters which I know others like me will appreciate!

Audiobook note: I looooooved the audiobook and definitely recommend that format if you can!
