it was a library read and i had heard so much about it but i absolutely loved it for what it was; it was everything i wanted at the moment i read it! i am so beyond excited for book 2, i hope it lives up to my now unrealistically high expectations (it probably wont, but i am at peace with that).

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death, Drug abuse, Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Blood, Death of parent, and Gaslighting

Moderate: Cursing, Drug use, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Sexual violence

there is a brief scene which lasts for about half a page where the main character is sexually assaulted as a child, it's not graphic or goes into any detail and is based on the authors personal experiences.
