This was a wonderful story of sisterhood, friendship, love and hardship. There was ace, bi and lesbian rep, as well as some other good conversations (check content warnings). I deeply loved this little book.
EDIT: after reading some reviews, I find myself agreeing with some of the negative comments about this book, and yet, I still stand by my rating, which I now realise is deeply subjective. It just gave me that fuzzy feeling in my chest that only the best books can.

Moderate: Rape, Sexual assault, Animal cruelty, and Animal death
Minor: Death of parent
A parent dies by drowning, it's not described very graphically, but it's there.
