Felt like the commentary on religion didn't need to be addressed. The trauma these characters faced was very downplayed in terms of how these events could shape their choices and personality.
Wished the ending plot point was expanded on but in all, the happy ending was satisfying.

It features a very stereotypical autistic-coded woman who never understands humor, sarcasm, or social dynamics. We bury our one gay character without ever even meeting him, and he's only ever used to spur on our main character’s meandering arc. There is a detailed rape in the first ~5% of the book. The author's invasive exposition gives me the impression she thinks we're stupid and irritated me to no end. I was painfully aware that this story is a direct product of its author. The dog is the best part.
