This book is a piece of art but WOW I should have looked up some content warnings before I started reading. It took me several months to get through this book because I kept having to put it down for weeks at a time. I would recommend this book to anyone in a heartbeat, with the caveat that it covers some heavy topics. 

CW: Ableism, Abuse, Addiction, Classism, Death, Depression, Grooming (grown man with a 17-year-old girl), Incest, Rape, Suicide, Suicide ideation
