This book features some pretty gnarly dubious consent (there seems to be a lot of rationalizing going on—I'd classify it as rape, but it's unclear if the victim would). There's also a pretty messed-up murder and a lot of bodily and societal weirdness. It's not all suffering, but it's one of those books that you want to read slowly or sit out entirely due to the nastiness of some of its content.bootsmom3's review against another edition
