I will say there is often a lack of nuance in this story. But, I think we’re at the point with such themes where we *need* them to be discussed plainly and with conviction. This was an amazing book.

It’s a difficult read for sure, especially if you’ve experienced sexual violence, toxic relationships or stalking, or been affected by gun violence. I would highly recommend it but please read content warnings and make a decision based on what you personally can handle and what headspace you’re in going into this book.
