This was probably more of a 2 for me, but I am going with the 3 b/c I read it as an audio book and audio books almost always rate lower for me. I have to think had I read this book it would probably have been more of a 3.
This book is DARK!! The hatred is palpable. I had to laugh, half in jest, whole in earnest when I read the author's notes at the end and she said she wrote this during a very dark time in her life; that was really clear! This content makes my heart break and feel sick all at once. That this is reality for so so so many people today is just beyond atrocious.

OK, well this gets dark very quickly and with little warning! There's an extraordinary premise here, and there were several moments that really blew me away. But there's a lot of ambiguity (whether this is intentional or not I don't know) and the ending in particular is frustratingly rushed. But the two protagonists are quite loveable and the dual narrative really worked.
I feel conflicted about this and I don’t want to! I feel like you didn’t get into the ~true~ conflict of the book until half way in, and I was just waiting for that shoe to drop. But after that, I liked it!!
