I went into this book open minded, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. The actual story and content wasn't bad, it just wasn't something that I enjoyed and had a hard time getting through.  To start off, I didn't like Hannah's other book, Foul is Fair either. Honestly, I was kind of vibing with the plot and the prose, but the triggering plot line that had no warning, sent me into a full panic attack and that was not fun. I wanted to give her new book a fair shot, but unfortunately, I just wasn't vibing with it and had to DNF. The biggest difference between the two books was that the prose was strange and I've never been a fan of trying to be ultra-lyrical to create confusion or mystery in a book. I couldn't follow along with anything that was going on because it was being coded or extra confusing and I understood nothing. It was like the book was written for prose, but decided to be poetry instead. Now, I usually don't have a problem with poetry or poetry based stories, but this was just made no sense to me. In addition, I don't want to have to reread paragraphs of text in order to understand of the story and the scene.  It's sad too, because I was kind of interested in what the mystery of this boy was and what was going to happen. We hadn't gotten into the full plot line yet but I was too lost to keep going forward. The setting, the writing style, and really everything about this book was just not for me. I wasn't vibing with it and couldn't push myself to keep going. So, unfortunately, I had to DNF at 25%.  I'm not sure if this author's books are meant for me, but I'm glad I at least gave this book a try.
