A long read, but it is definitely worth it. There were times where I had to put the book down, as it was simply too traumatic to read, but there were other times where I couldn’t put the book down as I was so hooked. Truly one of the best books I have read in a while, but make sure you are in a good frame of mind before reading, and make sure to read the list of trigger warnings.
Graphic: Child abuse, Child death, Drug abuse, Eating disorder, Rape, Self harm, Sexual assault, and Death of parent
Minor: Lesbophobia
