This book is beautifully written, funny when it has no right to be, hopeful, maddening, stressful and redemptive. So many times I wanted to hug the narrator, to give her the safety and love she was looking for. As the content warnings indicate, it’s not an easy read but if you feel comfortable with the content, I highly recommend it.
Moderate: Addiction, Alcoholism, Cursing, Death, Domestic abuse, Drug abuse, Eating disorder, Emotional abuse, Panic attacks/disorders, Physical abuse, Rape, Self harm, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic relationship, Abortion, Suicide attempt, Pregnancy, and Sexual harassment
A note about the content warnings: I’ve listed them all as moderate because they are themes that run throughout the book. Many mentions are brief but they come together in a larger context that could be very triggering overall.
