I don’t think any other book has ever made me as constantly and consistently uncomfortable throughout the entire thing. You simultaneously feel bad for all characters but horrified and disgusted by all their actions(except for Richard, Curry and Eileen who may be the only decent morally uncorrupted characters). Couldn’t stop reading tho, pace was excellent and finished it over a weekend.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Child abuse, Child death, Drug use, Emotional abuse, and Self harm
Moderate: Bullying, Chronic illness, Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Toxic friendship
