I found the premise quite interesting, especially in how relatable it was for something quite out there. It was almost childish, they way you’d beg your sibling to hit you back instead of telling mum when you got into fights as a kid and accidentally hurt them.
I found the ending of the book a little confusing, but still captivating. I think I agree with some other readers that it may have benefitted from a few more pages, although it seemed to be left intentionally vague. That said, I think I may have been a little disappointed if everything was tied up neatly with Jake and Lucy’s well being explicitly shown.
