This was an emotional roller coaster! I didn't expect it to be so heavy. I enjoyed it. The chapters are split up by different characters perspectives. Niamh was definitely my favourite character and I enjoyed her chapters. Without adding spoilers, there was one character's chapters I found quite hard to read because of the hate in it. I loved Theo and wanted to protect them. Overall it was a compelling and important book and it definitely seems to be setting up for a sequel so I look forward to reading that.
