I think a lot of my dissatisfaction with this book is due to the translation - it was quite clunky. However, there is also a lot of graphic sexual violence that I thought was over the top. Definitely read content warnings before starting this book.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Child death, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Suicide
Moderate: Child abuse and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Self harm
