It's a good coming of age story but reading it as an adult it's very cringe. There are a lot of topics this hits on that are very uncomfortable to read. I also think some of the main characters were annoying we're almost glad when they got knocked down a peg. I also dont think the author should be writing characters of color. She really played into stereotypes and the character fell flat and two dimensional.
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Body shaming, and Child death
Moderate: Cancer and Animal death
Minor: Alcoholism and Death of parent
