Okay. As an adult I enjoyed this book. Amazon says the book is suitable for grade 7-9. I’m not sure if that was the author’s intent, but this is absolutely not appropriate for that. It’s too mature of a storyline for a middle/high schooler to be reading. There was courage, heartbreak, unity, love and friendship. It was a quick read. I will be looking for more books written by this author. No swearing but moderate sexual content. I say moderate because of the age group that this book seems to be meant for.
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Blood, Bullying, Death, Gaslighting, Grief, Toxic friendship, Toxic relationship, Torture, Emotional abuse, Forced institutionalization, Misogyny, and Physical abuse
