This is a very graphic book; it goes into a lot of explicit detail of the content warning tags. This book will definitely make you uncomfortable at times. With that said, I still think this was a pretty good story. I was infuriated with Claire most of the time, but sometimes main characters aren't super likeable. I almost thought about DNFing this book when it got to some of the graphic parts, but I stuck through them; sometimes I hate that while reading I play books in my mind like a movie. I did like the multiple narrators set up. I like that it gave us readers different perspectives of the plot.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Rape, Torture, Stalking, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Drug use, Grief, and Death of parent
Minor: Car accident
