Had to read this for a reading challenge, so I was a bit out of my comfort zone. I think it's an interesting setup and there are definitely some stand out moments, but with the current climate I think it disheartens me too much to enjoy. Doesn't help when you read to escape only for everyone in the story to have a bad ending. It's important for sure, I can definitely see this being a book club kind of story where everyone has varying opinions, but I just kind of want to leave this one behind me.
