challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

ugly cried for the last 50 (60? 70?) pages. beautiful, gut wrenching.

fascinating how they know and don't know so much, and how that effects their worldview, where they're very nonchalant about the doning until it's their time. by 'fascinating' i meant that i don't think i'll ever be able to stop crying. also the last line bringing up NORFOLK is i think a crime against humanity

Graphic: Body horror and Death

the book features a lot of the child students being left in the dark, and the idea of donating their vital organs is normalized to them. if manipulation, especially in childhood, is a sensitive topic to you, i'd maybe skip.
