A thrilling quick read. My rating would be higher if
Spoiler
the actions of the villains weren't immediately blamed on their bad (addict, sex worker) mothers. Most of the book is so delightfully anti-sexism, then it trips and falls into the "the bad actions of men can be blamed on failed women" trope. Ms. Perkins, you didn't have to do that.Graphic: Sexual violence, Child abuse, Death, Death of parent, Sexism, Cursing, Gore, Gun violence, Body horror, Animal death, Grief, Kidnapping, Violence, Rape, Confinement, Injury/Injury detail, Misogyny, Murder, Vomit, Blood, and Sexual assault

Josie is a boss, would be friends with 10/10. Probably wouldn't read again though.
