It was so intriguing and tense that I couldn’t stop reading. I wouldn’t say I liked it, but I needed to finish it because I needed to know the ending. But throughout the book all I was thinking who’s going to die next? Half of the plot is just babies- having babies, making babies, birthing babies, dying babies, nursing babies, healing babies. Also racial slurs and literally all male characters are trash people, except Will.
