Confusing to start with because of the nonlinear timeline but God does it reward you when you start connecting the timeline. Though there’s stuff about homophobia and transphobia, it doesn’t pedal it as the center. There’s so much more and you honestly have to detach from it all to get to what this story is: people connected like vines and weeds around each other. What a fun book.
Graphic: Addiction, Body horror, Body shaming, Homophobia, Medical content, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Drug use, Gore, Grief, and Dysphoria
