Some past trauma comes up and lots of emotional encounters. I didn't find anything to be triggering in the way it was written.
I enjoyed the childhood whimsy of the island and the growth of Christopher. There are a few relationship dynamics I questioned but not enough to rate down. 5 stars, would read again.
