---

This story was very predictable. And disturbing. I know that’s part of the genre, but I didn’t like the fact that she

partied and did drugs with her 13 YEAR OLD baby sister.

Or the callous and flippant way she talked about sex/ sexual activities of herself and younger people. It was very abrupt and often triggering.

It’s not all graphic. It was just easier for me to list all of the trigger warnings in one category because there are literally so many.
