A phenomenally written extremely uncomfortable book. The way she cycles through character perspectives effortlessly makes this book a quick read. Dark and almost blasé but that’s what I’d expect from this author. It’s not necessary to have a deep understanding of Christianity but think it would help with some of the symbolism within the book. Overall, just not a book I enjoyed.
