I remember this was the book from this author where I started to notice things in his writing that irked me, but besides that I was very engaged with this story. The dreary setting was a well crafted atmosphere.

was really good i loved this style writing and because i read most of his other book “Martyn Pig” (which I did not like at all) I didn’t have high hopes for this at all but it was surprisingly good. There was no huge plot twist just really good writing. A good teenage thriller.

i would recommend this book to a boy who i liked. in a ‘i like you as a person you’re my guy’ type of way. This got super tense near the end and it was a bit lackluster
the finding of the guy’s body but i was just. idk the beginning of the book was okay and you’re intrigued yet confused and there are too many details that end up being unimportant and too much imagery was used when they could’ve added in much more characterization to rachel and baby-john but. not to be that person but jess and cole were super sweet.
