I really enjoyed this one, personally. People say the ending is a letdown but I don't think so. 

It's weird, it's dark, it's cringe-worthy at times, but I couldn't put it down all the same. Miranda is a protagonist that can be difficult to love at times, but we understand her throughout. Her actions feel realistic for someone in her position, and she's the perfect unreliable narrator to take things from strange to downright trippy.
