Moderate: Gore, Homophobia, Violence

Minor: Sexual violence

The depictions of homophobia are mostly the main character's fear that she will face it and what that would look like. The attempt at sexual violence does not feel cheap.

Really loved the premise, the insight into Malaysian culture, and the first half of the book. The second half the plot got confusing and I struggled with the protagonists choices. Leans a bit YA for me.

I enjoyed it a lot, it was definitely something different , which made it more unpredictable for me, so I had fun reading it! 
The only thing is that I felt that the main characters personality changed a bit at times in ways I didn't quite understand
