Sadly, the ending felt cliché to me and was a bit disappointing.
There was a semi-frequent use of homophobic slurs throughout, including in the very first scene, and some racist rhetoric which was never really addressed.

Increasing depictions of murder and gore towards the end of the book. Body horror, again more towards the end. Cursing throughout. Some mentions of characters vomiting. Use of homophobic slurs and at a few points some stereotyped depictions of people of colour. Mention of kidnapping. Graphically described instance of child abuse with a brief mention of parental abuse:literaryliaisons's review against another edition
