Al principio me costó un poco encontrarle el ritmo pero una vez que retenes en la memoria a todos los personajes y sus historias, me re enganché, muy buen planteo. Es de rápida lectura

This was a really interesting read thar was incredibly unnerving. It felt like I was reading an episode of Black mirror. 
I was really intrigued by the various characters portrayed in this novel and found the concept fascinating. I think this book looked really well at society and how people interact, considering how much everyone is interested in how other people live. 
It was incredibly graphic at points, with one scene I had to actually skim read because I found it so gross. 
I can't lie, but I am incredibly glad the Kentuki's don't actually exist.

This was super well written and very tense, i loved the short chapters and the building of tension but i just wish there had been slightly more horror that it built too
