The story was captivating, the no chapters made it feel more cohesive almost like a case study, charachters had personalities and motivations that made sense, tackled some interesting concepts such as the importance of the reasons behind good behaviour as well as the idea of doing horrible things in the hopes of preventing anything from potentiall happening in the future (kinda wish it touched on this more), very emotional and raw story. 

Uncessary use of racial and homophobic slurs, the conclusion with carrie and momma felt a little short consdering how much build up there had been with trauma
