this book was an interesting and depressing character study (though since it's semi-autobiographical that feels odd to say). maybe I need to read it over again, but although it was intriguing to see inside the mind of the protagonist, I didn't find it to have as much substance as I would have liked.
Graphic: Death, Misogyny, Suicide, Suicide attempt, Suicidal thoughts, and Alcoholism
Moderate: Sexual content and Sexual assault
Minor: Death of parent
