This book was beautifully written and absolutely haunting. It will most certainly give me nightmares, but I don’t regret it (I think?). Honestly the only reason I didn’t give it five stars was because it was SO disturbing but like in a powerful way that really shook me. Felt icky giving five stars to a book about cannibalism and oppression.
