Quite dark subject matter and the ending I didn't think was as punchy as it could have been but a really strong debut and I'd be interested to read more from this author in the future.

Compelling at first, with a strong sense of voice, but grew tedious and repetitive over the course of the book. I think this story would have worked better as a novella, with a tighter structure to make the middle section pacier and the ending less abrupt.
