I found this book like tough to read just because of the plot and the things that happen in it. Please look at the trigger warnings before reading this, I didn't. BUT I did like this book. I don't know how to describe it, it was sad and tense and it made me nervous. Ruth is always doing interesting thing

This novel was thought provoking, disturbing and made me slightly nauseous at times. I didn't know exactly what I went into when picking it up but I am glad I read it. It is a scathing criticism of the meat industry and the commercial industry as well wrapped up in characters I ended up connecting with. 
I would recommend reading the trigger warnings as after the halfway point it becomes difficult at times to read.
