Definitely no kidding on the Mature content. To be honestly I wasn’t expecting it to be very heavy on subject matters like rape or pedophilia because the cover does not specify specific subject matters anywhere on book because it only says Older Teens 17+. This was kinda a hard read to get through some parts that made me feel really uncomfortable that I basically had to skim some parts.
It was kinda hard to switch back between funny moments and tense scenes. But overall I do love the characters and their development, especially with the main characters in how each one tries to tackle their own problems and try to find how to cope with it.
