A lot of things in the book that I did not agree with… but highly interesting nonetheless. Wildest thing I have read in a while.

I read this book in a day. Please, don’t do that. It’s very intense and handles a lot of intense themes and social commentary. Please do read, but pace yourself.

I spoiled myself a bit because the premise made me dubious but intrigued, but overall it seemed to have good reviews. I did enjoy this book, and for the time it's a lot more compassionate than I expected. Well-written, admittedly Freudian, and the ending leaves a bit of a sour taste for personal reasons. I'll need to come back to this as a written book, as I listened to the audiobook and it seems some of the written cues didn't translate.
