I'm still thinking about this book. So many themes, so many thought-provoking impulses - I might feel the need to do something I rarely do (especially if I only just read the book) which is rereading a book.

Literal chills.
Lots of triggers, look for warnings.

Very fun book. I thought it would take me a couple days to complete but I started it this afternoon and finished it within a couple hours. I think the "dialogue only" style allows it to be read faster. Thomas is an erratic character determined to find the truth. The character interactions are so genuine, even though they're under weird circumstances. All the people are so believable with completely believable and cogent worldviews. Definitely recommend.
Moderate: Drug use, Gun violence, Kidnapping, Pedophilia, and Police brutality
