4.5
This is heckin intense. I'll have to read it again. The most unsettling part is seeing how little things have changed.
Graphic: Physical abuse, Racial slurs, Sexual harassment, Fire/Fire injury, Murder, Sexual violence, Stalking, Animal cruelty, Blood, Emotional abuse, Racism, Domestic abuse, and Sexual assault
Moderate: Alcohol, Gaslighting, Infidelity, Classism, Death, and Bullying
Minor: Abandonment
I extremely do not recommend this book for anyone sensitive to stalking/assault. Parts are very hard to read.
