I loved just about everything about this book. The story, the storytelling, the relationships between characters, the writing style. It would have been 5 stars had it not been for the incest and grief driven infidelity (I don't enjoy incest or cheating but the rest of the book was good enough to not make me dnf.)
Graphic: Rape, Religious bigotry, Domestic abuse, Transphobia, Homophobia, and Incest
Moderate: Infidelity
