so first things first, this is all my own opinion BUT, I feel like there are a lot of author opinions written in the book throughout.
For example, there's a moment in the book where they talk about rape and a character specifically states "Don't get all smug about trigger warnings. I know they're bullshit" A little bit further down they say "Every time you flick past the news its 'rape culture' on campus and celebrity sex assaults and some new moral fucking panic. Enough already". (that is just one example)
I then went and had a look through the Kindle edition and there are no trigger warnings at all.
Even though this is a short read, a lot happens in this that can be triggering for some.
The premise of the story is pretty good but it's so messed up and weird.
