A nice, tense, unreliable narrator read. Had some uncomfortable undertones (racism, classism) that were definitely there to show what kind of people the characters were, but I’d caution against it if that will make you uncomfortable.

A little too much of a slow burn at the beginning (but wow did it ramp up). I had a hard time finishing it because I really hated almost every single character which maybe was the point?

In some ways, I felt this book disappointed me—but that may just be the bad taste the characters left in my mouth. I found the writing compelling, and I didn’t want to put this book down. A disturbing read, but enjoyable to experience it unfold.
