This book was very upsetting and hard to read at times. Overall sense of hopelessness. That being said, it was something I needed to read, and the fictional narrative made it gripping and fast paced

It took me a while to warm up to the book, which may be partly due to the narrator but I stuck with it and enjoyed it on the whole. 
It was quite harrowing and the were some moments the story took a worrying turn but I liked how it turned out.

When i say this book is challenging i mean that it was sickening at certain points. it has a wonderfully developed plot written from several perspectives but mostly from the perspectives of the main two characters. it brings to light a lot of challenging truths about the meat industry. if you have issues with gore don’t read.

don’t read if you are unsettled by misscarriages and pregnancy related issues

. really good read tho i enjoyed it and it moved pretty quickly.
