3.5

This was really well written and explored very complex themes and characters with nuance which I appreciated. However, I my ratings are based heavily on enjoyment and I really didn’t enjoy this book, I felt sick to my stomach reading it. Each twist made me feel even more sick. I don’t want to discredit the author’s skill, though, which is why I settled on 3.5 stars.
