4.5
A look into friendship from within and outside the family unit - or rather - from within the born family and the chosen family, and shocking amount of conversations about what it means to be a woman and the friendships we have as an extension of our gender. Well written for cis-gender and trans-gender women alike (in fact pointing out that she does not agree with certain stances on excluding trans women), I look forward to reading more that her voice has to offer.
Graphic: Drug abuse, Drug use, and Death of parent
Moderate: Addiction, Alcoholism, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, and Murder
(most of the trigger warnings don't happen to the author, but are major parts of specific essays)
