Jess, while a lot of it is not her fault, does spend more of this book doing stupid shit and nearly getting murked than I had fun reading. The resolution made me see what the author was aiming for with this book, but I can tell I'm not the target audience for stories exploring these kinds of family dynamics.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Violence, and Medical content
Attempted sexual assault, mentions of marital rape, mention of parent with cancer (in remission)
