Reviews with content warning for Suicidal thoughts - Neverworld Wake

EDIT--
Bumping this down to 1 star... Even thought I said I enjoyed it I didn't I really. Whenever I have thought of this book since reading it, gives me a really weird feeling I don't like.

I think I want to give this book a 3.5 Stars. I did really enjoy this book. Kept me guessing (mostly wrongly). I never knew what was going to happen. Then at the end I'm not sure what did happen was what actually happened. I never felt strongly towards any of the character in particular. I mostly wanted to know what happened / why it happened.

I had a very similar feeling when I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke last July. The questions answered leaves me with an uneasy feeling.

I read Pessl's book Night Film and I wanted more from the author. This wasn't really in the same vein but I still enjoyed it. And considering this is YA, it really shouldn't be compared to an Adult genre book anyways.

It was an interesting premise, edited well enough that a time loop wasn't boring, the characters were decently written, the pace was good. The ending was a little meh for me but I enjoyed the journey there. It was bittersweet.

Ok so this was interesting and I wanted to know what happened.
That being said no one talks or acts like these teenagers did. Also like some of them were Literal psychopaths. Also I had a thought of the ending so that’s kind of annoying because I felt like I was low-key kind of obvious. Also there could have been a queer moment/situation and it kind of made me mad because I was like yes and I was like oh it’s not.This is a slight spoiler but I thought they had to have a consensus when they voted. so that doesn’t make sense to me.
