Rare that a book can introduce 7 characters to me right off the bat and I can keep track of all of them. They each had such a unique perspective, informed by such different experiences and dynamics, that it was easy to tell them apart. This book was also just plain good. Horrifying. And good. Trigger warnings abounds.
