I enjoyed this book but did sometimes find it difficult to carry on reading. I like how Hendrix creates such complex characters with harrowing backstories. Each character represents different ways to cope with trauma, which I think is really important to recognise. I believe that the premise of the plot is brilliant, but I think it could have been carried out slightly better.
