4.0

It’s one of the strangest darkest books I have ever read. Containing every trigger one can think of it’s a difficult read but I finished it in a day only because I couldn’t stop wondering what’s going to happen next. 

I have rated it four stars for the sheer gumption of the author to come up with such a difficult story that evokes such pathos and yet making you sympathise with dark characters who in principle do not deserve your sympathy. 

I just had a problem with the ambiguous ending but I guess this story couldn’t have ended any other way. 

Go into it blind but prepared your heart to be broken.
