Oh crikey! This book neatly broke me. I had so many staying at the wall, WTF happened there moments. I had to keep having a break to watch people making biscuits on YouTube while I gathered myself and was reminded of the good mundane things in life. An absolute emotional rollercoaster for me. If you want your IBS to flare up and your nerves to be shredded, this is a book for you. 
Loved the characters and the plot.

It's dark throughout, but the really intense scenes come in the second half. Great, complex reveals throughout.
