I read this last year and am writing the review now and it is still fresh in my mind. This book is intense and does not hold back on the horrors humans are unfortunately capable of but the characters are compelling, flawed, and complex. With the plot, there is no right or wrong character and it really works. This book will make you both needing to look away while also glued to the pages
