Moderate: Confinement, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Body shaming
Minor: Infidelity, Excrement, and Abortion
Content warnings: Heavy drug abuse and depression (this is the entire plot) eating disorders parental death (multiple cases) 9/11 Domestic abuse animal cruelty (somewhat graphic discussion in the first chapter, but easy to skip over since it’s only about a paragraph. The narrator does not partake in it and instead is just describing something someone else did. Short mentions of the same situation about two more times through the book. Also easy to skip over. As someone who can’t handle really any mention of animal cruelty, I was able over easily and ignore.)lesbegays's review against another edition

the writing style of this book is so hypnotic. every time i emerged from a reading session i felt disoriented, like i was waking up from a too-long, sweaty afternoon nap. i felt a little bit how i imagine the narrator felt in her waking hours. a lot of people describe the pace of this book as slow, and i guess that’s fair, but i flew through this. the combination of short, clipped sentences and excessive run-on sentences just pulled me along for the ride.
if you’ve ever felt like sleeping for a year would fix you but are currently in a better, more healed place, i highly recommend this.
