This was an interesting read but an absolutely brutal one. Very bleak so read with care, especially if you’re Jewish, queer, disabled, or a woman.

3.5

A solid audiobook for background noise while I was cooking. I actually really enjoyed this overall, it wasn't anything life-changing but I quite liked that, really well written though. Plus the twist at the end I actually wasn't expecting.
