This book has a lot of triggering events. I highly recommend looking them up before reading.

I can't say I enjoyed the book as it is not something you enjoy. It was an experience and unfortunately something that people go through in real life.
I thought it was interesting how we have constantly changing POVs and who we followed. It was one of those moments where by the end as all the pieces fall into place.
It was also written in a way that kept you reading just to see what happens and how it all ends of everyone.

I can't give it more than three stars as it was just depressing and soul crushing to read. It is not something I would recommend but if people were already interested in the story I would say to read it, but make sure to really look at the trigger warnings.
It was just not something I would personally read and didn't realise just how depressing everything would get.
