dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Honestly amazing. I completely understand why people found it dark, and I was horrified several times in this book. But it also has amazing writing, And it sticks.
