This is a hard book to review. Was the writing amazing? Yes. Was the story compelling? Yes. Did I learn something about a culture I know nothing about? Yes. Was it hard to read and upsetting? Yes. Am I glad I read it?.... yes. A hard read but ultimately a good one. Check the content warning though - this book could be very triggering to many folks.
