• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A

I don’t even know where to start with this book. One of my favorite Booktok content creators recommended this I went in completely blind and I’m coming out dazed. Honestly I loved the beginning of the story although I had no idea what direction I was headed in I was constantly on the verge of DNFing or sticking it to the end. The gore was fine for me and I enjoyed it right until the last 12 pages, the end just felt outlandish and that says alot considering the themes of the book. I also didn’t like the portrayal of the black people, consider the author is white it felt degrading toward black people which made me uncomfortable. I’m not even sure what I want to rate this book but as I said I did enjoy it just not the parts I mentioned.

I'm going with 3.5 stars. The writing is impeccable and very much so has you invested and turning pages. This left me constantly on the line to DNF or to push through to the end to know the full story. I went into this book super blind and I came out of it wishing I could pretend I never opened the first page. This book is very.... Icky.
It needs about 3-4 pages of content warnings as this book can be very triggering.
