It's wild. Went into this book blind except I knew it was intense and crazy and that's absolutely true. It's one of the best books I've read in a while. The writing is great and the characters are well rounded. Definitely had me squirming in my seat!killmoore_'s review

Every single character in this book is beautifully written, even if it is horrific. Each character comes with their own unique backstory that pulls you in, whether out of pity or pure disgust. Loved it.
I saw a lot of reviews about animal abuse that made me weary going in and I have to agree - it's detailed. It's awful. It's not for the faint of heart.
A final note - bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. If that is a no go for you, don't bother with this one.

Not for even the remotely faint of heart, I usually have a strong stomach for media like this but event I had to avoid the book for a couple of days when my real life got stressful.
