Rather slow to start. I feel for Mari more than I like her. There were so many threads here that you could have potentially just made 3 books about each storyline and then connected them. It ends so abruptly that I can't even really say I finished it. It leaves room for a sequel simply with all the loose ends.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Body horror, Chronic illness, Drug use, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Forced institutionalization, Blood, Fire/Fire injury, and Classism
