The main character of this book has OCD. Many of her compulsions are described in detail, in a way that could be upsetting for someone with this disorder or a similar one. There are also graphic scenes of physical abuse and sexual assault. Not excessively long or detailed. There are only a few brief scenes of violence, but they can be fairly graphic at times.

I’m really not sure why this book came across my radar, but I bought it a few months ago and hadn’t given it a second thought.
I picked it up as a challenge to myself to read more of the books I physically own, and I can say that I’m glad I did
The subject matter really forced me to reflect on my own opinions and biases and left me feeling like I’ve bettered myself.
It’s a tough subject matter, not for everyone but I would definitely recommend it.
