Picked up the book at random after seeing it around for a while. The story was so-so, but I was highly surprised by the (TW) rape scene . I thought it was a one off, powered through, but it happened again and in more detail. It was a surprise and really threw me.
Beyond that, the book itself was ok. I wish it spent more time connecting Noemi's early established knowledge of chemistry or interest in anthropology to the resolution of the plot. It really feels like a red Herring almost.
