This book was so interesting. It’s one of those books where no one involved is a good person. And yet, based on the point of view you’re reading the book from, you still root for certain people over others and choose sides. This definitely made me think and reflect when I was done. There’s definitely some things that are said that made me a bit uncomfortable, but knowing who they were coming from and their mental state, it felt different. Definitely one you really have to think about.
