• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This is my second Tiffany D. Jackson book and it didn't disappoint. 

The writing draws you in, investing you in the characters and the plot line. I listened to it on audiobook and it definitely added to the atmosphere.

let's see how many trigger warnings I remember: child death, child abuse, attempted (?) child rape, racism, graphic animal death, teen pregnancy, graphic vomiting, probably other things I can't think of right now

This was a dark book. That's fine. I knew it was going to be a dark book. It was a solid 4 stars for me, up until the last chapter, which kinda ruined the whole thing for me. I couldn't really articulate the disgust and disappointment that came over me at that last chapter, but it just felt like the twist really cheapened the entire book and erased all the development before it.
