Honestly still not sure about how I feel on this one! However: it was well written, well paced for the most part, and frankly stunning for a debut. I will for sure be checking out Harris' future work, revisiting this book after awhile, and searching out other reviews! I'm sure I missed a lot of nuance within the themes, and I'm interested to see what other people think. Thought-provoking for sure, and a thriller that is heartbreaking and breakneck fast in turn.
