Be careful with content warnings!
This book was pulled from some library shelves and was one of the books listed by name in the judge’s order to return books to the shelves. I read it for a banned book reading challenge. I may have been okay with content if it weren’t a graphic novel.

Spoiler

I don’t like seeing a kitten tormented and I really don’t like seeing it dead (just it’s hind paw is shown, but still). There is another girl, Rosie, in the story, and her mother drove a car with Rosie and her brother in it into a lake. Rosie and her brother don’t die, but their mother does (intentional suicide)

I’d have preferred not to have read this, but by the time I figured that out, I’d already read enough that I’d have rather avoided, so I finished the book. It also ends without resolution of story line which may come in another book that isn’t available yet.
