4.5

This book left me shocked, triggered and thoughtful all in the best way possible. I'm a very impatient reader and the chase of the book which tells you what happens on the first page was exactly what I wanted, although not the normal form of book I gravitate to. The book was also written in 1st person, but uses we not I - it's an intresting way to have the narrator in the situation reporting 1st hand but needing no focus on their character.
