This book was fast, enthralling, and very difficult to read. Check all CWs. However, it all felt real. The unlikeability of the character who made every wrong decisions again and again and again was on point. I agree with others that there was a loss in not learning more about the other harmed characters, but it that lack of information tracks with the flippancy-turned-trauma written into the main character. Will not forget this book.
