TRIGGER WARNING
This book should have trigger warnings for a number of things. Please search before reading. While I did enjoy (?) this book I am not sure I would ever feel comfortable recommending it. Hard read with troubling themes and characters that seem to literally never learn anything. And to what end? This book confuses me.
