It's a fast-paced, short story with a smart and not overly sentimental female lead. The plot isn't drawn out, making it a mindless, enjoyable read. The ultimate theme is (regardless of logic, just enjoy the thrill). Multiple plot twists and reversals provide a satisfying sense of stoicism. Everyone involved in the stillbirth, even those who remained inactive, suffers severe consequences. It's incredibly good!
