The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I haven’t had a book that I haven’t want to put down during the last couple hours in months. At first, it felt a bit long because the page size felt daunting, but then you are given a book with a few POVs that flow well imo, and a story that keeps moving.
