Ok so like this book is HEAVY, but I’m really glad I read it. It’s forced me out of my comfort zone and I had to think a lot about what makes me like, dislike, or feel meh about a character. The ending was EXACTLY what I wanted! It felt right and important. After the second book, it picked up and I started REALLY caring about what the characters thought and felt.
Graphic: Pregnancy, Sexual assault, Incest, Miscarriage, Rape, Murder, Suicidal thoughts, Domestic abuse, and Emotional abuse
I enjoyed this book, though content warnings should be issued for the middle section in which there are graphic depictions of sa, r*pe, and in*est.
