Read this for a book club and, although it's a heavy read I really enjoyed it. It's told my a number of characters, each their own unreliable narrator telling their own truths – the story was compelling and the characters drew me in.
Moderate: Grief, Hate crime, Islamophobia, Racism, and Violence
Minor: Alcoholism, Addiction, Bullying, Death, Drug use, and Racial slurs
