What can Is say? I absolutely adored this book. I loved the characters and all their relationships with one another. I will say, going into this blind was fantastic; however, I wish I had looked up the trigger warnings.

I understand very well that the leads have trauma, but do they otherwise have personalities?

WARNING! Read the trigger warnings on the author's website https://avasreid.tumblr.com/juniper

Content warnings for Juniper & Thorn:

Gore and body horror
Child sexual abuse; incest
Cannibalism
Antisemitism, xenophobia, and scientific racism
Physical and psychological abuse from family members; gaslighting
Self-harm and suicidal ideation
Bulimia; graphic descriptions of vomiting
Animal death

I was about 2 chapters in and getting the ick from the father because he was being abusive towards his daughters. It was mostly psychological by the time I stopped but then I went out and looked up the trigger warnings and decided this wasn't going to be the book for me.
