I didn’t expect this to be such a tense read! I had seen the movie years ago and forgot almost all of the plot, so re-experiencing the twists and turns was a treat. A very satisfying ending after a chaotic whirlwind of a story.
Moderate: Grief, Injury/Injury detail, and Death of parent
Minor: Alcoholism, Confinement, Death, and Suicide
