- Psychological literary fiction
- Show-more-than-tell commentary on power dynamics, abuse, misogyny, and victim blaming.
- Coming of age examination of friendships with consequences
- Stream of consciousness essay style
- Jumping between thoughts and characters
- Observational (from a distance) character focused narratives
- Book club/buddy read deep dives
- Topics from a 1990s/early 2000s viewpoint (unfortunately much is still relevant today)
- Second hand cringe, morally complex characters
- Symbolism and metaphors with a touch of purple prose
- Large cast of characters
- Random snapshot POVs that ultimately interconnect
Graphic: Misogyny, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Suicidal thoughts
