This book is super atmospheric. The writing truly makes everything feel dark, gritty, and cold. It makes the girls' desperation feel even more real.

While I would say it is plot-driven, it should be known that there isn't a ton of action here. Saying this doesn't feel right, but it is all I can think of. There is definitely action and there are reasons for their desperation, but I think it just also felt slow to me. It definitely dragged in places.
It never completely gripped me which was a bummer since I wanted to like this one so much.

I'm beginning to think this author's writing just isn't for me, but I will try one more book before completely deciding.
