I feel like the main twist is obvious but there is more to it than a surface idea of said twist. It’s a good idea but falls flat in it’s ability to deliver. With a weak love triangle in the mix too-makes the lead and her friends kind of insufferable in a book that’s explicitly about the conflicts of POW and torture.
Graphic: Toxic friendship, Cancer, Animal cruelty, Suicidal thoughts, Medical content, Grief, Gore, Violence, Death, Blood, Injury/Injury detail, Genocide, Death of parent, Cursing, Medical trauma, Addiction, Physical abuse, Drug abuse, Chronic illness, Body horror, Alcoholism, and Alcohol
A lot of mention of the idea of hurting animals? It’s not actually happening but the idea is there? (Plot reasons-it makes sense). Heavy mentions of political acts of violence during the Bush Administration.sydneysargentsuperfan's review against another edition
