That was seriously amazing. This book sneaks up on you. In the beginning I found it a little boring and didn't empathise with the characters at all. But then it picked up the pace alongside the upcoming Katrina, and I was mesmerised and hooked by it, so much so that I genuinely cried at the ending. It was very cathartic and heartbreaking, but nevertheless I didn't find it overly depressing or dark. There were really disgusting scenes that were written so vividly I wanted to put the book down, but once I got into it, it stopped bothering me that much.

It has very diverse and complex characters and amazing language on top of all that. Definitely a favourite.
