This was a really interesting read thar was incredibly unnerving. It felt like I was reading an episode of Black mirror. 
I was really intrigued by the various characters portrayed in this novel and found the concept fascinating. I think this book looked really well at society and how people interact, considering how much everyone is interested in how other people live. 
It was incredibly graphic at points, with one scene I had to actually skim read because I found it so gross. 
I can't lie, but I am incredibly glad the Kentuki's don't actually exist.
