This is most definitely a dark book. All of the mystery surrounding Grace (in real life and the book) had me challenging everything that was presented. This book screams untrustworthy narrators. At every turn I was finding myself questioning what was happening which I am sure Atwood did on purpose to mimic how the story was unfolding for people at that time.
Overall a fantastic read but definitely not one for those looking for a lighthearted or warm book.
