Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim
Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
The main character disguises herself as a (specific) boy with a disability she doesn't have. That was iffy enough, but my hell no point was when she bound her chest for five days with no breaks and then kept going through the pain. I'm not interested in watching a character either slowly distort her ribcage through unsafe binding practices, or mysteriously have it just be painful but have no other consequences.
Moderate: Ableism, Alcoholism, Child death, Death, Misogyny, Sexism, Grief, Death of parent, and Classism
Minor: Alcohol and War
