I’m not really sure how to rate or categorize this book. It is very readable. I think it would be the perfect read to get out of a slump if you were looking for something a bit gritty. This book is a bit all over the place, and despite recognizing its messaging and enjoying it, I’m also horrified.

I requested this arc because I found the blurb interesting and I'm glad I did it because i discovered a new to exciting author.
This is a great thriller, a gripping story with an original plot and plenty of interesting characters. There's a lot of strong emotions since the first pages: rage, hate, grief.
It's not always easy to read as these strong emotions are expressed in an extremely vivid way and I couldn't help feeling affected.
It was a fascinating and riveting read, a surprising thriller that I strongly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
