The narrator, Rosemary, breaks the fourth wall. She is smart, sarcastic, and unreliable. She jumps back and forth in time when telling the story. There's a plot twist! Overall, superb writing.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Torture
Minor: Rape, Sexual content, and Animal death

I picked up this book after seeing it on a list of fiction for vegans and noting its good reviews. It ended up being exactly the kind of book I wanted, full of compassion for animals, but not blatantly catering to only a vegan readership. This book is for ANYONE who likes good writing, compelling mystery, and bittersweet endings. It's hard to say more, because it's such a well-written book, I don't want to give anything away. Let it suffice to say I absolutely devoured this story and I think you will, too!
