5.0
Moderate: Physical abuse, Rape, Suicide, Torture, Violence, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Blood, and Murder
***SPOILERS*** Brief discussion of rape, although the word “rape” is never used. The main character is told that her fiancé (who has basically taken her hostage) is going to rape her. She has to plan how to get out of the situation.
There is domestic violence/violence against women committed against the main character and her sister by their father.
There is a part toward the end where the main characters sister commits suicide.
Mentions of blood and injury throughout the book although it’s not too graphic.
