rare that i finish a book and rate it this low - it was intriguing and engaging for the vast majority of the book. however, i got no resolution beyond the vague implications that permeate the book from page one. 

also, minus a star for graphic animal death for NO DISCERNABLE REASON and minus another star for the jarring and hateful descriptions of fatness?? it’s so weird and a consistent thread in her writing
