A harrowing account of revenge, dysfunctional families, and mob mentality. This was a real page turner for me, the fast pacing was engrossing and I loved how it was formatted with different characters telling each part and through different mediums (epistolary, phone call, journal, etc).

_lars_'s review against another edition

4.75

This was absolutely wild, start to finish. I ended up devouring the book in 2 sittings. 

You see a lot of the plot points coming from a mile away but, surprisingly, that doesn't take away the enjoyment of watching it unfold piece by piece.

After truly getting into the book the story was written so well and the story had so much depth to it. This book made me question a lot and challenged me at points, while maintaining a cohesive story and plot. Just be very cautious of the trigger warnings as it is a very heavy book dealing with a lot of heavy topics.
