Imagine the Hunger Games, the Handmaid’s Tale, and Pacific Rim all had a big poly relationship and made a big poly baby. That is this book.
I’ve already recommended this book to three people. Wonderful example of how to write complicated people.

Graphic: Murder, Torture, Alcoholism, Sexism, Injury/Injury detail, and Misogyny
Moderate: War, Suicidal thoughts, Physical abuse, Child abuse, Domestic abuse, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Death of parent, Sexual violence, and Biphobia
The protagonist’s feet are bound, and it’s described in visceral detail.
