5.0

I have never read anything like this nor do I think I will ever read anything like this again. The writing, the plot, the characters and their development, are all incredibly planned out and impeccably portrayed. Sascha Rothchild has written a book so clever, so intriguing and intellectual but also so precarious and multi dimensional, it is unparalleled. 

"Blood Sugar" is nothing short of profound and extraordinary.
