5.0

This book was the most mind-boggling, bizarre book I've ever read, but in the best way possible? I was so confused but invested the entire time. I just wanted to know what the hell was going on with Margot and the Neilson's! I legitemately could not stop thinking about this book while I was reading it.

To be honest, I was hoping that things would come together a little more smoothly. I didn't love how
the supernatural element was just thrown in at the end like that. It still doesn't make sense to me how ridicine caused people to randomly sprout from the ground. However, I do LOVE how the plotline of Jo vs. Katherine was resolved. It was how I thought it was, but it was so satisfying to see what really happened. I was also so glad that I predicted the connection between Tess and Jo's pregnancy.
 

Overall a very good book, and I will definitely be recommending it to people! Margot's relationship with Vera and Josephine was interesting, but her arguments and thoughts about Josephine definitely struck home. 

TLDR; 5 stars, I was so invested.
