Overall, the writing is simple, blunt, and erratic - kind of degrading to read. Lots of sad, sloppy, angry people looking for sex or some kind of warped version of happiness (usually just sex, though). Nothing really enjoyable or interesting about this for me.
Moderate: Alcoholism, Body shaming, Drug use, Eating disorder, Fatphobia, Miscarriage, Misogyny, Racism, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic relationship, Murder, and Sexual harassment
