Beautifully tragic, I fell in love with all the (good) characters. It was simultaneously so real and yet unreal, as imagining what they had to go through was incredibly unsettling and disturbing. Took me a while because I couldn't read too much at a time, as at points I felt physically sick. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check trigger warnings before reading.
