This was a very cleverly done exploration of the cycle of violence. It was really chilling and powerful. A lot of punch in such a short read. I highly recommend the audiobook because Reynolds instills more emotion in meaning into every word than my own head ever could.
Graphic: Child death and Grief
Moderate: Gun violence and Drug use
