This is a bit of a hard one for me to review. Its one of those books that is almost impossible to recap without being spoilery. Some of it I liked, some of it I didn't. The basics of the plot are 17 year old Molly has been having blackouts and can't remember where she went and what happened during these blackouts. The story is about her figuring out what's happening.

The plot and the narrative style of writing got my attention immediately, but I did find the first half of the plot kind of boring, and admittedly, thought I knew where the story was going. And was kind of like...really? That's the mystery? She meets two boys who know her and she doesn't know them, they're brothers. So I thought that was the reason for the blackouts. Something to do with how her relationship with one and the other changed and she felt guilty about it and blacked it out rather than deal with the emotional consequences.

Well...I was completely wrong. The second half of the book was much better, and packed a surprisingly emotional punch when the answer to Molly's problems are revealed. It became a lot better and was...kind of uncomfortable to read as well. This is not a happy feel good book. But I thought it was very well written, and handled exceptionally well.

So not what I thought but definitely glad I stuck with it. I didn't think it was one of the best things I've ever read, but certainly well worth reading even if it was out of my comfort zone.
