A high anxiety read for me. What starts off as a pretty bad week for Dr. Raj Bhatt grows increasingly worse and increasingly scary. I even avoided reading the "Friday" chapter because I was upset imaging what would happen next.

What was especially difficult to read is Raj's processing of events, even as they happen. At one point he lets his rage fly (completely understandable, considering the racist harassment he is receiving on campus), and the description hit a bit too close to home; the mix of anger, powerlessness, and fear reverberated. Raj immediately seeing his own mistakes and either owning them, or leaning in to them, are teriffically written.
