Spoiler
Daphne doesn't believe in abortion and is all like "god will give me whatever gender baby he wants/he knows what's right, etc." (and also being pro-abortion and pro-choice does not mean forcing someone to have an abortion and I feel like this was not made very clear in here, but this was pre- overturning of Roe v Wade so probably wasn't as topical and clarity wasn't as critical at the point of writing/publication) and then there's another bit later on that sort of equated religion with morality and that was a no for me.Graphic: Violence, Abortion, Rape, Domestic abuse, Misogyny, Sexual violence, and Gun violence

I think around page 130-150 is when my intrigue started to grow so when we got Daphne's POV I was a bit taken a back. But I trusted the process and I'm so glad I did because once we got Daphne's chapter I was HOOKED! I was eating this book up and it became soooo good! I loved it! Jackson's ending was a bit anticlimactic for me, but I'm pretty content with everything else. If you don't mind a slow burn type of book then I totally recommend this book. (Very triggering topics though, so please be careful).
