Why I picked it up ##

Mel told me I should read it!

## What I liked about it ##

Super fast read. The chapters are short. The book is short. The whole thing seems engineered to read in a single weekend.

The story was suspenseful and interesting. I really liked how it showed that you can't really know a person, or how they'll react in a crisis, and how everybody has a tiny bit of bad in them, and everybody processes trauma in their own way.

Made me feel strong feelings of disgust toward the "bad guys."

Also, it somehow immediately established a cast of up to 12 main characters, with two or three auxiliary characters on the side, in such a way that I had no trouble at all remembering who was who.

## What I didn't like about it ##

Finn as a narrator worked 90% of the time. At times I wished she was a little more impartial, omniscient 3rd party narrator, and a little less dancing and cheering and screaming about being remembered.

## Who I'd recommend it to ##

There's so much to enjoy here relative to how short the book is, I'd say anybody should spend a weekend with it.
