    This started off slow for me but slowly got better. It's definitely not my favourite of Silvera's, but I did enjoy it.

    Reading Billy was heavy. Intense, unsettling, and the kind of book that sticks in your head long after you put it down. The multiple POVs were fascinating. I found myself especially drawn into Barton’s mind, and being inside his rational, calm, and cold thoughts was almost disturbing, but in a way that made me think. Billy himself is tragic, frustrating, and heartbreaking all at once. I kept switching between feeling sorry for him, scared for him, and sometimes just lost in everything happening around him.

    The ending confused me at first. The dialogue was messy, overlapping, and disorienting, but I think that is the point. It made me feel exactly what the book is trying to show: the chaos, the moral ambiguity, and the way people justify harm and erase others. That confusion stuck with me, in a way that was frustrating but also strangely compelling. I could not stop thinking about the characters and how every choice, every thought, shaped what happened.

    This is not an easy or comforting read, but it is one that makes you notice the details, feel the tension, and really reflect on human psychology. It is haunting, unsettling, and brilliant in the way it gets under your skin. While reading it, I often found myself holding my breath, feeling both disturbed and fascinated, and thinking about Billy in a way that made me ache. Anyone who likes deep, morally complex stories would get a lot out of it, though fair warning, it is intense.

    For me, reading this book felt like standing in a room I could not leave, watching and understanding but never fully controlling what was happening, and I think that is why it stayed with me so deeply.
