4.0
An analytical depart from reality; great expression of inner thoughts and feelings as it becomes clear that narrator’s perception is not fully reliable. The complicated present shifts as the narrator reveals pieces of her past, and how okay she is with the ominous future her experiences hint at.
Moderate: Gun violence, Body horror, Death, Toxic relationship, Gaslighting, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, and Violence
