Unfortunately the teacher/mother of the murdered child is mainly absent in most of the book because she orchestras everything from behind the scenes.
Some of the characters could have used a little touch up especially regarding their depth.
All in all I quite enjoyed it and it gave me KDrama "The Glory" vibes.

Every part offered a unique perspective on the same situation with its own set of new, disturbing details. By the end, I was left with an uncomfortably complex view of what happened without any progress toward forming an opinion on it. This story lives in the gray area.
I also can't get over how satisfying this book is. Details are tied to each other in ways that are often unpredictable (at least to me), but the author gives plenty of opportunities for the reader to piece together the newest details before showing the answer. From the perspective of structure, this book is a very satisfying example of how to stitch details together.
In short: Read this!

Every chapter felt like a slap in the face in the best way possible. It is absolutely like Camus meets Heathers, filled with characters who are shitty but you can’t help kind of rooting for?
The revenge is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s a really interesting tale about cycles of abuse and grief, and how revenge isn’t always the answer but sometimes does make you feel better.
A really satisfying read.
