Read the trigger warnings, if I knew what was coming I wouldn't have read the book. A good piece of literature, but shouldn't be recommended to everyone.

Wow this book. First of all, look up the trigger warnings for it. 

A deep and intimate look into psychosis, depression, suicide, purity, virginity, and identity. 
Beautifully crafted and one of the most evocative and visceral reads I've experienced in a while. 

However, it's a 4 star rather than a 5 because of the blatant, unapologetic and pointless racism. 
I understand the argument of it being a product of its time, but it made me incredibly uncomfortable and affected my enjoyment and that is, after all, what I'm rating.
