The book is not subtle in terms of it's subject matter that monsters (or people who do horrible things like abuse children) can be hidden and hard to find. I mean there are passages that allude to the #MeToo movement. But I think this is a theme that can't be subtle especially in a young adult book.
I also like how the author made the main character intersectional-she's a black trans girl who also speaks in sign language. Her friend Redemption also has three parents.
