I nearly returned this to the library before I finished. Thank god I stuck it out.

This did not feel like other e. lockhart books at all, its much darker and more convoluted than her other tales and I was feeling rather disappointed until about three quarters of the way through when our narrator gets her memory back and I saw all the previous events in a new light. It was just like Code Name Verity: suddenly I neded to read the book again from the beginning.

My only real complaint is that it wasn't what I was expecting, I wanted something happier and more fluffy, which is obviously more a reflection of me than the book.
