I’m writing this review to add content/trigger warnings, I have never read a book that triggered me as much as this one, so if you’re planning on reading it, be aware. I had to put it down for a while several times. I’m usually not terribly affected by content, so I was a bit shocked by how strongly the description of some of the themes affected me.
Hope this helps.
