Fair warning: I did not care for this book at all. I am also going to say up front that you should not read this book if you are triggered by body horror and gore. In fact, you should not read the review because of spoilers. If you are offended by obnoxious ethnic stereotypes, horrible hillbilly caricatures, and creepy Madonna/whore and sister complexes, you will likewise not want to read this. (If you do like all of the above, then this is definitely the book for you.)

Awakenings is a standard variation of the “character has amnesia and discovers that he is not who he thought he was,” trope.

I am warning for rape and mentions of body horror/dismemberment
