This book was very upsetting and hard to read at times. Overall sense of hopelessness. That being said, it was something I needed to read, and the fictional narrative made it gripping and fast paced

It took me a while to warm up to the book, which may be partly due to the narrator but I stuck with it and enjoyed it on the whole. 
It was quite harrowing and the were some moments the story took a worrying turn but I liked how it turned out.
