Please beware, this book is not for everyone. The trigger warning list is almost longer than the book. You definitely do not want to read it if something on the list gets to you, as content is often explicitly described and it can be repetitive in the book.coxmagee's review against another edition

3.0
I give three stars because it's a very well written book. It's comprehensive, I think the beauty of this book is how it follows the life of the friends from their birth to their death. Not an excerpt taken from their life but their whole life. So, three stars for the writing, but zero stars for it being a trauma porn.
Anyway, read it on your own discretion. I still cannot ascertain if I would recommend this book or not.
