This book was sometimes challenging for me to read because I found it so tense and uncomfortable. Overall I thought it was good, but compared to the pace of the rest of the book, the ending felt rushed. It seems like the topics the writer wrote about were well researched.

3.5

this book had me thinking heavily at each action, doubting not only the many “antagonists,” but also the main characters as well. i don’t know how to feel about the ending, i only know i don’t judge the characters for how it ended because i can’t say i wouldn’t do the same. really good book, definitely worth the read. (did not pass the bechdel test as far as i could tell)
