Firstly, holy gods READ the trigger warnings. If you make it to the first grape scene and can’t deal, skip to chapter 21. I promise you won’t miss much, if anything.
The writing and character development were extremely well done, and the book felt well paced and the level of detail was tangible. From a writing and quality point of view, this book is excellent. Although I can’t say I enjoyed it. The first half was extremely graphic and it was unsettling at best.
