I just see no reason for this book to contain every content warning  scenario under the sun, when only 3 or 4 really impact the overall story, it felt like they were added for shock value. I’m not someone who needs content warnings necessarily but truly the number of incredibly heavy topics in this book was completely unnecessary and several of them were not even remotely important to the plot. This would EASILY be a 4 star read for me if it wasn’t for these unnecessary “shock value” traumas.
