I wouldn't say this was necessarily the best written novel I've ever read, but it was a good story with a twist I absolutely did not see coming. The author did a great job with some really difficult subject matter.

Boring first half with no likeable characters, then it shifts into the absurd and even downright laughable plot. No bright spots as the book is full of Trigger Warnings. Weak character development with no room for real redemption of the characters make the ending feel cheap.
