5.0
Just a breathtaking, amazing story from start to finish. Beautiful writing, characters you love (and love to hate), and an impactful message. Graphic and not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth the read.
Graphic: Torture, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Racial slurs, Gore, and Death
Minor: Police brutality, Self harm, and Homophobia
