Some parts read like spoken word poetry. Some are simply fiction. Almost all of it is horror, though I imagine it's well-researched and true horror. The sexual assaults are described with simultaneously less and more detail than needed to get their point across. The way people respond to the victims is horrifying. The way we alienate and vilify victims and survivors of sexual assault is horrifying.
I'm not quite sure how to rate this book, so I won't.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Rape, and Emotional abuse
Moderate: Self harm, Pedophilia, Injury/Injury detail, Grief, Child abuse, Body horror, Torture, and Transphobia
Minor: Drug abuse, Alcoholism, Addiction, Suicide, Eating disorder, and Blood
Giant, massive trigger warning for survivors of sexual abuse: maybe don't read this book.aformeracceleratedreader's review
4.5
this was a great read (not necessarily because of the story since it discusses r*p* and s*x*u*l a*s*u*t, but the way it was told). It's multiple pov and can get pretty graphic. I wish we got a little bit of expansion on Michael and Sebastian as they were the victims we got the least amount of time with. I also didn't love the ending, but it was wrapped up nicely enough for me with how the victims coped and tried to heal.

Highly recommend the audiobook version of this, with a full cast that made everything feel so much more real. A very difficult read that made me feel sick to my stomach a few times, but I think the core material/message is important.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Injury/Injury detail, Gore, Rape, Self harm, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, Grief, Suicide attempt, and Blood
Moderate: Deadnaming, Eating disorder, and Transphobia
