This book is definitely not for everyone, and even though it's listed as a Young Adult book, I would not want my teens to read it. It's very dark, and the depictions of violence and sexual content are too graphic for younger teens in my opinion.

This was an absolutely gripping read from start to finish and I read it in three days. Every time I thought we were at peak WTF moments, it threw another curve ball at me. This is well marked as horror, and anyone considering reading it should definitely pay attention to the warning tags.

If you like dark and post apocalyptic stuff, this is probably right up your alley.
