4.5
The author's ability to weave so many different forms of injustice and trauma into one story is incredible, as it demonstrates how situations are never simply because of "one" problem. Thought-provoking book, definitely recommend.
Moderate: Suicide attempt, Death of parent, Police brutality, Racism, Rape, Abandonment, Homophobia, Misogyny, Murder, Sexual assault, Terminal illness, and Suicidal thoughts
