The build up was great but the end came suddenly without any really closure. There is probably some 'deep' thing going on here but it really felt like the author was just throwing stuff on the page to shock the readers than really try to carve out a story.Â

Spoiler
The detailed accounts of maiming, animal death, and recounted gruesome events from the news will probably stay with you long after. However, there was some missed oppotunities. I feel that the rabbit eating their babies was unneeded, as well as the priest running over the cat, because neither of them add anything to the themes of the story.Spoiler
They were unnecessary. Just for shock value. Other than that, it was okay. Idk if im gonna read it again, but we’ll seeGraphic: Car accident, Gore, Homophobia, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic relationship, Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Physical abuse, Lesbophobia, Toxic friendship, Child death, Death, Pregnancy, Violence, Animal cruelty, Grief, Hate crime, Mental illness, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Animal death, and Body horror
