Can't say anything that hasn't already been said. A masterpiece. Every sentence, even the simplest, carefully chosen and affecting. Everything that happens wrapped up in separate themes and character moments. A heavy book, nobody's perfect, everyone makes some bad decisions, but you can't help but feel the author's love wrapped up in the hate and horror and warping the story has to hold.
