I loved many things about this book. Unfortunately, I feel like the author just tried to do too much. I really think the book would have been better with less. I wanted more of the main plot lines. Even though the conflict choices ended up coming into play in the end, I still think the story could have been told and with a better result without them. I am also not a huge fan when authors use trauma and mental health as a reason for violence. I did really enjoy the wolves and neurodiversity. The way the MC could feel what she sees and the way the author describes this was really good. I also liked the disjointed feel of the story as that really added to the atmosphere.
