This book absolutely destroyed me. If I had read it last year when it was released, it would have definitely been in my top books of the year. It's not an enjoyable read but one that's impossible to look away from, with characters who are so alive and multi-faceted. I wish I could write a smarter review but I'm honestly speechless and in awe of this book and its commentary. Read it if you haven't yet.
