3.5
I had a hard time getting into this one but got more invested in the second half. However, I found the ending disturbing. Might lower my rating after I sit with it awhile. The novel has moments of brilliance but was not overly gripping for me.
Graphic: Drug use, Blood, Pregnancy, Kidnapping, Grief, Medical trauma, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Cannibalism
