This is really great book. I think the author did a great job of showing the reader how each of the MC's health with the grief of losing their father. It was able to paint a pretty comprehensive picture of how each of the character's had a different relationship to their father and how they reflect on that relationship after their loss. The author did a great job of blending in each of the character's different flaws and how grief is different for everyone.
Graphic: Death of parent and Grief
Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Sexual harassment, and Stalking
Minor: Classism
