Rereading this book I'm so aware of all the trigger warnings it needs. And also, this was a novel with an opening gay main character written in the 90's. It has a lot of flaws but it is interesting to see that character portayed compassionately as a whole person. Definitely has some flaws and a rape. Yikes! I'm excited to hear what my book club thinks of it.
Graphic: Suicide, Rape, and Homophobia
Moderate: Racial slurs, Racism, and Suicidal thoughts
