I have never read anything like this nor do I think I will ever read anything like this again. The writing, the plot, the characters and their development, are all incredibly planned out and impeccably portrayed. Sascha Rothchild has written a book so clever, so intriguing and intellectual but also so precarious and multi dimensional, it is unparalleled.
"Blood Sugar" is nothing short of profound and extraordinary.

I honestly didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I loved the idea of what this book might be but it’s surface-level plot was predictable and not believable. The chapters were short and choppy, feeling disconnected and clumsy.
