this was a fucking rollercoaster, but in all the good ways!
(triggers at the end)

there was no having a break while reading this, and i felt like the pacing was fantastic thanks to that. while there were times where characters annoyed me and i felt like the decisions being made were awful, i had to realize that was very reminiscent of what the author must've been trying for. having these girls who had been through so much, while also making mistakes along the way, humanized veronica and mik further.

i felt for them, and all that they'd been through, and i was rooting for them all the way until the end! there wasn't much of a mystery, though that might just be because i figured out the twist quickly, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment and the shocks i still felt.

really, this was good, and an interesting reworking of the picture of dorian gray.
