Just a heartbreaking and enraging read, but still filled with truly hopeful and loving moments. The reporting here is excellent, the writing engaging, and the story absolutely horrifying. Definitely worth a read if you enjoyed reading Iverson's Full Body Burden or Sheeler's Final Salute. Avoid if you're not in the headspace for truly gut-wrenching loss. Genuinely, check the content warnings on this one. You can probably guess what most of them are based on the subject matter, but still. Even so, it was such a well written book, I highly recommend it. It's not an easy read, but it is an important one, and I couldn't put it down once I started.
