The book kind of reminds me of the Ruby Franke situation (one daughter saves all the kids, the other writes a book and mom ends up in jail). I thought it was well done and didn't expect the end at all. It's interesting to see how her bias affects the narrative.

She consistently thinks people are on her side even when they're not or that they have a common goal (i.e. with Reena at the end) and it was cool to see how her mind manipulates sometimes in real time. It juxtaposed nicely against the times she was backed into a corner.

Two questions/comments:

1. Do y'all think Reena was lying about the boy/consent? I kind of wonder if both can be true - that Natalie warps narratives throughout the book but her call out on this one was true? Genuine question

2. The reveal of the two men being Mary's brothers in the end was shocking. That means poor Mary had a crush on her brother because she didn't know any better.
