This could've been half the length and it would've been way better. There's SO MUCH extra/excess information and background. Also major trigger warnings.

Many scenes in it went to far and were depressing to read.

The horror was well written, the characters were fun to read, and I love the ambitious story, but there is a lot of stuff here that felt unnecessary and went to far. I would recommend this book to anyone.
