I thought this first look was okay, but despite the references to a mysterious incident that lead to Beth being sent away and the question of how exactly Alexa's boyfriend wound up dead, this excerpt didn't really grab my attention very much. I just wasn't really drawn in by the prose or anything, and I thought the choice to begin the story with the knowledge that, at least to that point, Alexa survives but her boyfriend dies, was odd--I think that gives us a bit too much resolution to be super invested in how the characters got to that point, instead of maybe starting things off with, like, Alexa walking in and finding her boyfriend dead and then we rewind to see how it happened with a lot more intrigue.
