Moderate: Alcohol, Alcoholism, Blood, Death, Infertility, Misogyny, Murder, Sexism, Sexual assault, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Gaslighting and Grief
Sexism/misogyny is only portrayed by one character and is telling more of how some people of a certain mindset would act in the book's circumstances. Infertility/IFV is mentioned twice. Sexual assault is attempted but never written in exact words, the character says "I knew what would have happened" so goes into no depth. Suicidal thoughts occur in one scene but the word suicide is not mentioned in that contextorangeoverload's review
5.0
I loved the setting, the vivid descriptions of the beach, the heat, the island wilderness. And I loved the sisterly relationship that I relate to so much. It was a brilliantly paced book, with enough revelations to make you go Ooooh!
A great summer read! ☀️
Moderate: Death
Minor: Vomit, Suicidal thoughts, Cursing, Blood, and Alcohol
