This book was rough, but if you are still interested while also concerned, the author has a note at the beginning with her own content warnings as well as her thoughts on including content like this in modern narratives.jjreads331's review against another edition

This book took a slightly different turn partway through and added a secondary POV that at first, I was annoyed by, and then INFURIATED BY because I just wanted to get into cora’s head again, and then, I ended up really thinking it was a smart narrative decision, and THEN the final passage of the book nailed me flat and I think that I will be thinking about it for a while.
(This is not going to be a very coherent review, as if mine ever really are lol. That’s not what I do here, I just vent some emotions about the book into a void).
I think I’ll be thinking about a LOT of this book for a while.
