I was so ready to give this five stars right up until the last 5% when I really feel like it was rushed and silly. So much more to be explored that was missing. I loved the central relationships and it was a quick read, but I really feel like another hundred pages could have done sooo much to pad out the ending and also the world itself. Very disappointing.
Graphic: Gun violence, Violence, Torture, and Vomit
