3.0
Although a short novel, there's quite a bit of emotion packed into it. The more you find out about the characters, though, the more difficult it is to like them. I will, however, say that the author convincingly detailed how suffocating isolation can be.
Graphic: Grief
Moderate: Ableism
Minor: Infidelity
