Whew, this book is so so hard, and probably because it's so well-written. I think it's as close to poetry as prose comes. So much research, so much hurt, so much trauma. Incredible. Would read anything Marzano-Lesnevich wrote.
Graphic: Suicide attempt, Violence, Blood, Medical content, Adult/minor relationship, Death, Medical trauma, Sexual harassment, Confinement, Pedophilia, Sexual assault, Car accident, Infidelity, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, Pregnancy, Sexual violence, Rape, Addiction, Incest, Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Grief, Mental illness, Murder, Toxic friendship, Toxic relationship, Child death, Chronic illness, Eating disorder, Injury/Injury detail, and Sexual content
Moderate: Abandonment, Alcohol, Alcoholism, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Death of parent, Misogyny, and Suicidal thoughts

If child abuse is not good for you to read about, this is definitely a book to skip. The descriptions are extremely hard.
