I was really excited about this book but felt disappointed by the end. It had a lot of promise with potential for tense and disturbing moments. Instead, it started to feel rote. I felt a lot of the characters were just a compilation of character traits rather than whole people. And see, that'd be fine as I was excited about the book because of the plot but even that felt like it petered out near the end. Also I was thrown by random derogatory language. Can we please stop using fatness as a synonym for disgusting or villainous? Thanks

There were some strengths to the book including an unfolding narrative and strong writing so I would definitely read more from this author.
