This was surprisingly good for a book I'd never heard about. The story is really on point and deals with a topic that is always ignored or seen as romantic in YA novels -- obsession. In addition to that, the writing feels like we're listening to the narrator telling us a story, which I found lovely.
I did have some issues with it. I feel like Clara's relationship with Finn isn't necessary. It didn't add much and I think it was just an irrelevant extra. The ending, even though it was good, was a bit dumb in a certain point. Why did Clara move out if going to college was still her plan? Was it a temporary thing? And even if it was, what's the point?
All in all, a super interesting take on obsessive/stalkerish relationships, a topic that should ve more developed in YA fiction.
