Some parts are poorly written but most of it is really good.

When they said they both die at the end I did not think it was literally going to happen, but guess what? They both really do die at the end. I was warned, I ignored the warning and now my heart has to pay for it. Tragic, really.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death

Moderate: Blood, Animal death, Grief, Death of parent, Child death, Suicide, and Suicidal thoughts

Tw / suicide:

The suicide tag is about a past and parental suicide rather than a present one. Therefore its kind of a minor description of it.

Further tws for: drowning, suicide ideation and gang violence.

Even though I knew how it ends before starting to read it, 

the death killed me inside

I have never felt such sadness reading any book before. Definitely recommend it if you'd like to shed some tears.

ik there’s a lot of trigger warnings there and most of the moderate ones could probably be in the minor section but it’s better to have them there at all for someone who might need it
