what a fucking nightmare (/pos).
Thanks to the publisher for the ARC and unexpected trauma!
Every book Courtney Summers writes is more horrifying than the last one, and I mean that in a positive way. The Project gives you a deeply unsettled feeling right from the start and you can't quite figure out why until about half way though the book when Events Happen. The first half was honestly a bit slow for me, and if I hadn't had wonderful experiences with the author in the past I might have even DNFed it because of how slow the build was, but the unease that's built up through Lo's POV and drive to get her sister back is needed and you're repaid for your patience in the second half.
If you'll excuse me I need to go cut off all of my skin to get away from the feeling this book left me with.
