The content warning tags make the book sound much more brutal than it is in my opinion, but best to tag just in case. The main character cleans trauma scenes/crime scenes so the blood and guts descriptions comes with the territory. However, I think if you can handle watching an episode of a crime show on tv you can probably handle this book. It was definitely funnier than I expected. The main character is full of snappy one liners that I found to be super entertaining. It’s a crazy ride, and absolutely worth a read.
