challenging dark emotional tense slow-paced

TW: Fatphobia, death of sibling, death of spouse, murder, Sexual Assault/Harassment/Rape, Eating Disorder, Suicide attempt

Whew.  That's a lot of triggers.  Be warned, this is a very tough book to get through. It's hard to say that it's good, but it's powerful. 

Just be aware of all of the triggers, I think I included them all, but double check if you are concerned in the slightest.
