I am torn. One on hand the prose was really nice, immersing me in California without even ever being there. On the other hand, it can get graphic. And with that descriptive prose that is a strength of the book, it also doesn't allow the reader to hide as things get worse. Better than I expected though, so I guess I liked it.
Graphic: Addiction, Drug abuse, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual violence, Trafficking, and Alcohol
Moderate: Abortion
