Please beware, this book is not for everyone. The trigger warning list is almost longer than the book. You definitely do not want to read it if something on the list gets to you, as content is often explicitly described and it can be repetitive in the book.laylamaethaila's review against another edition

however, PLEASE inform yourselves of ALL trigger warnings and, if necessary, please check the spoilers for each trigger warning. i read this book knowing what i was going in for, but i cannot put into words how incredibly graphic and triggering this book was.
nonetheless, it was a beautifully sad story.
