The is an amazing book. The author did a great job of helping the reader really feel that anxiety that Lo is feeling as she tries to keep her world in order. I found myself tapping along with her and counting myself as I read it. I like the how each person is connected in some way and the twist toward the end of the book is just what was needed. This book with stick with me for a while. Great read!
