Absolutely beautiful, heart breaking, soul stirring book. It has been quite a long time since I have read a book like this. Mieko's writing is so beautiful and descriptive. One of very few books that I read bit, by bit, so that it would last longer.
Graphic: Ableism, Panic attacks/disorders, Physical abuse, Suicidal thoughts, Blood, and Toxic friendship
Moderate: Abandonment
This book is chiefly about bullying and may be triggering for those who have experienced bullying - particularly bullying that is rooted in ableism.
