A 4.5 ⭐️ read turned to a 5⭐️ with the last page. 

Every chapter felt like a slap in the face in the best way possible. It is absolutely like Camus meets Heathers, filled with characters who are shitty but you can’t help kind of rooting for?

The revenge is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s a really interesting tale about cycles of abuse and grief, and how revenge isn’t always the answer but sometimes does make you feel better. 

A really satisfying read.

This is a dark story told from many perspectives. Much in the vein of We Need to Talk About Kevin, this psychological drama would have worked better without the

AIDS as punishment trope, which felt homophobic.
