Every single character has such a clear motivation, even if you don’t agree with it, you definitely can understand why they do what they do by the end of the book possibly my favorite thing was the weird family dynamic that happened between Victor and his companions Mitch Sydney, and the dog.

I loved the writing style and how she skipped back and forth between the past and the present. The characters were well-crafted and I found a connection to every one of them, especially Victor's group of strays.
It was not really action-packed but I still loved how the story evolved.
Before reading one should check the trigger warnings, because it gets dark at points and "There are no good men in this game" is quite true. The mix of flashbacks and present might be annoying for some people too.
