this is one of those books that would take several reads to feel like you fully understand. not confusing, per se, but layered and full of details which must be sorted through and mulled over so that the significant ones can be separated from the insignificant.
Graphic: Death, Violence, Forced institutionalization, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Moderate: Rape, Sexual content, and Vomit
Minor: Sexual violence
