I was slightly terrified going into this book because I’d heard so much about the triggering parts and that’s all I expected. Nobody told me that this book is one of the most beautifully crafted stories of love of all kinds - platonic, familial, romantic. Yes there are hard moments, I think reading the trigger warnings is a good idea if you’re worried you might get upset. But please, please do not let the trigger warnings put you off this book. It is so beautiful and so important.
