I think this book was fine. I was interested in what had happened, and I did have to double check that my doors were locked at bedtime. But overall, other than the shock value I didn't find this to be a very good story. Some of the plot elements were interesting but I certainly wouldn't read it again.
Graphic: Child death, Violence, Death of parent, and Murder
Moderate: Eating disorder and Suicidal thoughts
