Took a really long time to get into this one, almost gave up on it several times. Definitely worth sticking with it though, the characters felt very real from all the backstory given. Check content warnings.
Graphic: Rape, Gaslighting, and Gun violence
Moderate: Homophobia, Bullying, Addiction, and Suicidal thoughts
