Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, x a million. WOW. This book packs such a punch, and has so many layers to it. I probably shouldn’t be writing this without having processed everything I read, but here we are.
This book questions a lot of intentions behind actions, expertly has you push and pull between right VS wrong, and that dangerous grey colour in between. Who do we believe? Why should we believe them? HOW can we believe them, when other past actions in similar situations have proven to be something else? WILD. This book will definitely leave a lot to digest afterwards. These characters are all unlikeable in their own way, but they also feel so real.
This is an important book that everyone must read.
