The way this is written is just absolutely beautiful. Very poetic, this might not work for you if you don't enjoy poetry. I happen to absolutely love poetry.
This book is very sad a lot of the time. It handles tough themes and sensitive subjects. I would definitely check the trigger warnings if you happen to have triggers related to abuse or drugs.
There's also this beautiful thread of hope in this book that saves it from being too bleak. But it definitely isn't a feel-good book, so approach it with that in mind.
