I absolutely loved this book, and found it so easy to get into. I loved the main character and the world that Owens created around her. I wish I could go through the first read all over again!

Changes time setting and tone between a murder investigation and day to day survival. I found the bled difficult and the structure could've been utilised better.

I cannot believe that I have ever rated a book 5 stars before reading this one. This is it, this is the 5 star book. 
The story does not tell, it shows. You feel pain, suffering, sadness etched into every word, every detail. Everything about it was good from beginning to end. Every time I picked it up, I could not put it down. 
There were many times I got choked-up and teary-eyed just from what was happening. Plus, the characters were all very 3D, loveable, hateable, relatable, all of it. It made me feel things at every chapter.
It is also fast-paced and easy to get through. No point did it feel like it dragged on too long and the non-linear timeline made it flow even better surprisingly.
This may be my favorite book, it is, in essence, exactly as a story should be.
Engaging, emotional, satisfying.
