This was a challenging read. It forces you to think about your perception of reality and whether you are seeing what is really there or if you are seeing what you want to see so as not to “make waves”. It forces you to ask the difficult questions of what is real and what is only a facade. You’re forced to confront what monstrosities, we, as humans can, have, and will face. Even when were children. It shows humanity's ugliness and the beauty it could have if only we would come together.
