WE THE ANIMALS is a semi-autobiographical debut written in vignettes. We follow a young Puerto Rican boy witnessing his family struggle through domestic abuse, alcoholism, financial hindrance, amongst other things. It is a raw, powerful study of humanity that packs a mighty punch in 128 pages. I highly implore you to view the list of trigger warnings I included, along with doing some additional research for any I may have forgotten. 

TW/CWs: Child abuse, domestic abuse, homophobia, child abandonment/neglect, sexual assault, rape, violence, adult/minor relationship, sexual content, forced institutionalization, conversion therapy, self-harm, ableism, alcohol use/abuse, misogyny, sexism, suicidal ideations etc.
