Content Warnings

Graphic: Abortion, Addiction, Alcohol, Animal cruelty, Chronic illness, Mental illness, Sexual content, Suicide, Terminal illness, Toxic relationship, Vomit, Alcoholism, Animal death, Eating disorder, Grief, Toxic friendship, Body shaming, Cancer, Death of parent, Drug abuse, and Drug use

Moderate: Body shaming, Abortion, Excrement, Infidelity, and Pregnancy

Minor: Classism and Incest

Additional trigger/content warnings:

9/11 attacks and a sexual encounter that I consider to be very non-consensual (but that is not conveyed as such by the narrator, who experiences it). The incest is mentioned in passing about off-screen characters.

I felt the protagonists were, while not likable, loveable.

it jus makes me so endlessly sad tht reva had 2 die nd those were the sleeper's last thoughts abt her  its so dehumanizing nd she only earned the sleeper's respect or acknowledgement once she commited suicide by jumping off the towers, once she did what the sleeper is 2 afraid 2 do: kill herself . .

this book is so absurd, not in a bad (nor good) way, it simply is . . . just like my opinion nd thoughts abt it (4 now)
