4.5
I think it’s a 5 star book, but for me, a 4.5. It was beautifully and brilliantly written. It taught me a lot of historical context, and tells so many important stories. I struggle with reading about addiction, so it wasn’t a 5-star read simply in my experience with it. I highly recommend it though!
Graphic: Addiction, Racism, and Colonisation
Moderate: Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, Violence, and Death of parent
Minor: Rape and Mass/school shootings
