I love books that make me cry :,) fr tho I don’t fully understand everything that happens in this book bc I know like nothing abt Vodou  but yeah. very interesting story. I did get kind of mixed up with some of the characters tho in the middle with the townspeople but that’s ok. I really loved the parts from Corey’s perspective personally (which like made me cry even more I love that boy so much).

Content Warnings

Graphic: Child death, Gun violence, Racial slurs, Sexual content, Violence, Murder

Moderate: Drug use, Sexual violence, Suicide, Dementia, Grief

There are a few instances of mentions of sexual violence/rape, but it’s only ever actually depicted very briefly in one scene, I think.
