challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.75

I give this book a 4.75 I really wanted to give it five stars but there were some parts where I wanted more world building rather than just the main characters personal problems. Insanely disturbing, literally nothing to bring you even a shred of joy or resolution, especially not after those last couple pages. TW: Everything
