It's nicely written. The writer raises some important observation and questions. But it just wasn't for me. Trigger warning for abuse (sexual and spoken) and cannibalism.

Was expecting so much more. The plot twist in the end was not well done at all, Becca was also hateable and thus the book makes less sense. Some moments were nice though, like the interaction of the journalist and the coffee shop attendant and the doctor.
