It's truly devasting how powerless some people are made to feel in our society today. That is the most heartbreaking part of this book. 

My only criticism is the oodles of red herrings, which is I guess an important method to keep the reader guessing, but kept the ending from being a nice tidy bow.

This was so moving. I recommend so many people to read this. It’s amazing and twisted. And tells you a lot about our systems today. Warning, check the trigger warnings before reading if you’re pretty sensitive to these kinds of topics. But I still think it should be read since the world isn’t alll good in real life. Fiction mirrors reality sometimes.
