I adored this book and immediately tore through 3 more Lydia Kang novels. I would 100% read this again. Cora is such a great character and I never saw any of the twists coming.

This book was a different read for me as I don’t usually biological types of books. I read this in about a week and really enjoyed it! The twists at the end both shocked and enthralled me, would definitely recommend. Only lost half a point as some of the writing is a bit clunky and it was, in places, too anatomical and gory for me personally.
