I don't know how much it is because I don't read many graphic novels, but I feel like you might struggle to follow this if you aren't familiar with the story. I'm vaguely familiar with the plot but still felt a little lost at times. That being said, the art is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed the different colour choices for different times and themes.
Graphic: Infertility, Infidelity, Misogyny, Rape, Sexual violence, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Miscarriage
Minor: Abortion
