5.0

This is one of my all-time favourite books, and quite honestly changed my life. It has a diverse cast of characters, it employs a lot of trope-flipping that turns out to be really thought-provoking, and the relationships in the story are just *chef's kiss* so deep. It's a wonderful book; please read it.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Police brutality

Moderate: Ableism, Homophobia, Blood, and Medical trauma

Minor: Torture, Vomit, and Grief

Most of the triggering content in this book is fairly mild; the only explicit thing is the police brutality. Any triggering content is done tastefully, and while I'm usually triggered by all of the above, it didn't really upset me.
