It's a very emotional book. The emotion is not "lighthearted fun".

Rereading this book for the first time since 2011 was fascinating. I was able to notice so many things I didn’t quite pick up on originally and have just gained a stronger appreciation for Collins’ narrative, pacing, and descriptions.

So this is a young adult book. All of these warnings are things that feature in the book, but it’s not terribly graphic. There are parts that can be upsetting to readers, but nothing that a twelve or eleven year old couldn’t handle.

Captured my attention from start to finish without letting go. Suzanne has a genuine skill with her writing and I fully believe she deserves every word of praise she gets, truly remarkable work.
