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.

Spoiler
the rape references were much more graphic and frequent than I was expecting, which goes somehow to explaining my bad feelings towards the book - I've tried not to let that reflect the rating too much.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.
