interesting writing style but sooo incredible weird about the subject matter in some parts. has a weird thing about its depiction of lesbians too. definitely a product of the early 2000s. i don’t really think it succeeds as an anti-drug narrative at all and it’s definitely not a great assigned reading novel for its intended age group
Graphic: Drug abuse, Drug use, and Rape
Moderate: Toxic relationship and Lesbophobia
