The last book I'd read by this author was "Beartown" and this one is wildly different, which speaks to his versatility.

I did not enjoy that Elsa had a name for everyone (even if they’re fanciful nicknames) except “the boy with the syndrome” and “the mother of the boy with the syndrome.” Why were they the only two unnamed people? (I think maybe “the woman with jeans” remained unnamed throughout too.) Why was that one characteristic the entire extent of those two individuals?
Graphic: Grief
Moderate: Death and Death of parent
Minor: Toxic relationship

Since I've soured on JKR the constant references to Harry Potter don't feel quite so whimsical and heartwarming.

A+ writing-people just want to be seen.
Moderate: Animal death, Death, Violence, Kidnapping, and Death of parent
Minor: Child death, Domestic abuse, Infidelity, Violence, and Injury/Injury detail
Nothing is overwhelming or explicit but it is moving and a history with some of the topics might cause them to be triggering.
