I have so many thoughts and feelings about this book. If you’re reading the reviews to determine if you want to read this book, keep this in mind: think of this book as a character study, not a mystery or a plot-centric book. It’s got a read of a thriller though, especially with how utter delusional and unhinged June is. It’s absolutely fascinating in a “I gotta watch this train wreck and see the resolution” way that reality TV kinda gives. There were a few times I caught myself thinking “I feel bad for June” and then I remember: she did this shit to herself.
