dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Could be a solid 4/5 but the ending is a let down.

Okay this is objectively a five star book, but I also wish that I could forget I read it. Just so captivating, but also incredibly disturbing. I don’t feel great after reading it, but I also couldn’t put it down.
