📚 Review: Damn. This book was heavy. I had a hard time putting it down, and when I had to, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. While this book is fiction, the mystery of what happened was happening kept me reading, though I did guess it.
I felt like some of the characters were well written while others weren’t, and a lot of ethical lines were crossed by these characters. I did like this story and some of the dialogue, and am curious about the writers other books!
