This book is so unsettling, and I truthfully did not find it entertaining - but I think that’s the whole point. Like a lot of others, I had to just sit and stare into space after the last page. It’s honestly very sobering, especially given recent happenings in US politics and I just pray it’s not a glimpse into a too-near future.

Amazing slow burn. The MC isn’t the most likable but the most reasonable. The character development is not what you’d expect.
