I kept waiting for this to get better, or for a plot twist- neither happened.
I realize this was supposed to work as social commentary, but ultimately I didn't like or really care about any of the characters. One unpleasant character after another, and none of the suspense or tension one might expect, given the book's chosen opening.

This book was a dark, compulsive read that once started, couldn’t be put down. I found the points of view to be irritating, as it was in third person but repeatedly changed perspective, giving too much insight into irrelevant characters thoughts and feelings. I also found the language to be less than authentic. With that being said, it was a captivating and dark story. You know from page one that something terrible will happen, and readers are on the edge of their seats waiting for that other shoe to drop.
