Most of my feelings about this one are wrapped up in how it ended. Spoilers are not specific but will tell you what to expect from the ending so read at your own risk.
It's tough to read a lot of this book because it's a lot of people being relentlessly cruel to each other and a lot of "they don't know what we know" frustration, but while I spent a portion of the book worrying that this would be one of those "everybody loses" kind of dark reads, it wasn't, and because the ending was satisfying, I ended up liking the book.
