Wow. This book really shook me and I have a lot of thoughts about it. Too many to post on Goodreads, so check out my full review on my blog. (Warning for spoilers)
This book is short. I think that is a good thing. What the book has to is interesting and valuable to think about but it says one thing well and even though the book was short it started to feel long. I was very happy that I finished the book and didn't set it down. I think this would be a good book club book ( with the right people ) or just a book to talk about -- the discussion of the book was better than the book , to me.

A revolting dystopia, disturbing and dark, beautifully written.
All the content warnings for this one. This was tough to get though at some parts, but it masterfully conveyed how ruthless our society can get and much atrocity can be excused when in "crisis".
