I read this for a book club and couldn’t help but read ahead. The first section about the life and death of the youngest sibling in the family is the strongest emotionally, though there are things to think about throughout the book. The third section is the weakest. The author also uses a lot of very strange and seemingly out of place sexual descriptions, which might be a turn off for readers.
Graphic: Homophobia, Mental illness, and Suicide
Moderate: Hate crime, Medical content, Police brutality, Alcoholism, Terminal illness, and Animal cruelty
