My only issue with this book was the length. While I understand telling the full story, at times the chapters seemed to drag.
Otherwise, it has been a long time since I read a story that made me feel all the emotions possible, from disgust to hope. This was an absolutely wonderful read.

Graphic: Medical trauma, Chronic illness, Ableism, Death, Classism, Injury/Injury detail, Suicidal thoughts, Sexism, Body horror, and Cancer
Moderate: Infertility, Body horror, Gore, and Miscarriage
Minor: Domestic abuse
This is all true, so it will feel fairly heavy at times, but all of this present, sometimes in graphic detail
