What stuck out most to me about Until Gwen was the climax. The surprise ending at the fairgrounds with the digging up of Gwen’s remains was morbidly magical. As you read the story, you could sense that something was going to happen, but you didn't know exactly what. It was a nice dramatic reveal and the twist with him killing his father was also interesting and unexpected. The use of second person puts the reader into the story, making you the main character which is both thrilling and eerie.
