I could give a more thought-out review but if you’re scrolling thru trying decided if you want to read this, please don’t bother. If you do, listen to the audio, listen to the first hour or so (2x speed) and then skip to the final 3 hours. That’s literally all you need, I promise! The middle is solely extra info about 100 different townspeople and a bunch of rapes, murders, and suicides. That’s the story. 
You’re welcome.

Dragged in the beginning for how quickly it ended. The characters were memorable and the plots were very detailed. 
Satisfied to finish the book, not sure I’m going to pick it up again.
