Mention of trigger warnings

Using the n-word with the hard r, twice in the last 5 pages or so of the novel just seemed extremely unnecessary & disrespectful. It changed my whole perspective, really.. But reflecting now, what else could I expect from a book that has a graphic, violent rape scene only 15 pages in..

jkribbit's review against another edition

This book was very well written and an engaging story with a lot of heart. However there were some triggering storylines and overall was too depressing of a story for me to want to continue. I have too many other books to enjoy. I read a synopsis and moved on.
