I'm not sure if this is due to reading it in translation but I just wanted more from this, it really just didn't deliver as much as I'd hoped for. Such a good concept and I liked most of the characters but I still felt at the end that I didn't really know them. Quick read but honestly one of very few books that I do actually think could benefit from being longer.
Graphic: Self harm, Mental illness, and Rape
Moderate: Misogyny and Suicide attempt
Minor: Death of parent and Adult/minor relationship
