5.0
Reading through this book is a bit of work but it is worth the effort. The way the plot threads weave together into a tragedy both fantastical and utterly mundane is wonderful. I have never read another book like it.
Moderate: Death of parent, Violence, Medical content, Suicide attempt, and Police brutality
Minor: Child abuse and Blood
