It's about a balancing issue in justice. Alex Craft has to die (whether or not you think she deserves to) because the story would be severely unbalanced if she did notIt's a tear jerker, pack tissues.
Graphic: Death and Gore
Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, and Sexual violence
Minor: Abandonment, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Pedophilia
To be clear, this book is about violence of all kinds (especially sexual) but it has an important gravity to the matter. It's not a joke.brookey8888's review against another edition

I really love this book. It’s a very difficult read, but it’s so important. It examines rape culture in many different ways. I honestly really liked Alex as a character. She was interesting and I loved seeing how she was growing as a person. Jack for the most part I liked, but he made me uncomfortable and annoyed at parts(the point). I really loved his and Alex’s relationship. I did enjoy peekay as a character as well and her friendship with Alex, and Sara and Alex and peekays friendship.
