This is my first time reading a book of this genre and it pulled me in from the very beginning. I knew based off the concept that it would probably be very graphic but my jaw still dropped at certain points in the story. There were so many layers that were being added or peeled back that I had to keep reading until I finished.
Graphic: Physical abuse, Sexual content, Blood, and Cannibalism
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Child death, Suicidal thoughts, and Death of parent
