3.5
This was difficult for me to rate. The writing was great as usual and the characters were well developed but it dragged on and on for no real reason. Just because you’re a stellar writer doesn’t mean you need to use all the words!
Moderate: Grief, Death, Medical trauma, Bullying, Drug use, and Violence
Minor: Suicide attempt, Sexual harassment, Terminal illness, and Stalking
The book covered a lot of sensitive topics but i didn’t feel like it was gratuitous in explanations or details.
