This book needs some serious content warnings! It's not a poorly written book, but the entire story focuses on violence and rape. I read the whole thing, but I really wish I hadn't. Maybe if you've never experienced trauma, it would make you think, but I don't need that in my fiction. CW: violence, rape, molestation, war, more violence, more rape.
