This was fine, nothing too crazy or spectacular. It does wrap everything up neatly. I'd say this is a good palette cleanser book.

Honestly, this book is pretty light, and while the trigger warnings are there, it's not dwelling on the details or trying to paint a graphic image of what's happening. It is written simply and enough to get the point across, but not to haunt your nightmares etc.
