This book was a fantastic read. The flow between chapters was flawless and was very well thought out. This is probably one of my new favorite reads!

It made me very uncomfortable. (yes, it's a thriller but my God, the topic of oppression ugh)
Yet, I wanted to know how the stories will weave together. While the multiple stories took a while to set up, the ending felt almost rushed.
