Sounded like it should’ve been a really good book. In reality, there were parts that were good, but most of it was disappointing.

Very cruel, tragic and sad but also fascinating. It’s a lot more violent than I anticipated so be careful if you have some triggers: rape, death, poverty, addictions. But it was very addicting, I preferred the first half but overall it was a hard one for me to put down.
