Oh my god this book was amazing. Heartbreaking, and terrible, and complicated, but so so amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone. It was devastating and beautiful and I don't have better words to describe it.
Graphic: Child death, Infertility, Kidnapping, Miscarriage, Pregnancy, Racism, Rape, Sexual assault, and Violence
Moderate: Ableism, Abortion, Car accident, Cursing, Grief, Infidelity, Physical abuse, Police brutality, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Torture, Vomit, and Xenophobia
Minor: Abandonment, Blood, Islamophobia, Slavery, and Stalking
Minor spoilers ahead: the child death is not a main character and is fairly minor in the scheme of the book, but it's also horrifying and violent and it really really got me. So. Fair warning if that's something that could affect you.
