I love how twisty and cleverly dark (it’s not majorly dark) it is. One big question was on my mind throughout the second half of the book that doesn’t get answered.
What is the donations for that kills off donors? I wonder wether that’s because the main character doesn’t know herself even though she’s the carer.

It's very melancholy, not v hard into the scifi / medical aspects, irritatingly monologue prone, quite dreamy. Can get boring. 
In a word, this book can be described as staid. Not necessarily in a bad way. It's almost autobiographical. No rating as I didn't connect with the book, but it's well written and would be appreciated by others.
