3.0

I am not sure how to feel about this book. Enjoy is maybe the wrong word because it was obviously gross and horrifying and none of the characters were necessarily likeable, but I did think it was interesting and while the worms were gross I did think the wormy bits were good

I also really didn't anticipate Vanya's mum killing their brother or their dad or being the bomber but I thought all of that bit was good


Overall it was interesting and I'm glad I read it even if it's very not like anything I usually read but it doesn't fill you with hope for the future of society
