Random book for me but really easy to read and really good too. I feel like when it was published it was probs very spooky but now there's loads of similar content out there I don't feel like it hits the same

Quite disturbing though predictable - you know exactly what's going to happen and yet it's still pretty horrible to watch. I liked Jenn's introduction as it picked out how carefully Dale is interrogating the economics of care and need through every character.
