First off, Channie Waites deserves so much of the recognition for why I enjoyed this book so much. I am so thrilled by how fantastic her narration was, and also by how this book captivated and enraged me. I was nearly crying at several points too, and listened to it basically non-stop. 

I was thinking of docking half a point as some of the scientific explanations came across as pretty on-the-nose (all the stuff near the beginning
about hatred during the dissection scene
) but by the end I just did not give a f*ck. So heartbreaking and empowering, enraging and informative. 

I'd recommend this book to pretty much anyone - unless you don't like gore.
